Omega Seamaster – Vintage 1950s – Calibre 420 – 34mm – Original Dial – Ref. 2759

A superb example of a classic 1950s Omega Seamaster, powered by the ever-reliable manual wind Calibre 420 — one of Omega’s finest hand-wound movements from the golden era of watchmaking.

This is exactly what you want in a vintage piece: original dial, sharp case, and a clean, honest movement. No over-restoration, no shortcuts — just a proper watch.

The dial is particularly attractive — best described as a warm metallic champagne-grey tone, with subtle ageing that gives it real character without distraction. These original finishes are getting harder to find by the year.

Finding one with an original dial in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult. Most have been refinished — this hasn’t.
