🔍 Description

This classic Omega Seamaster 1962 Automatic embodies everything that made the early 1960s Seamasters so desirable — clean lines, reliable engineering, and timeless understated style.

The case reference 14761-62-SC houses the in-house Calibre 552, Omega’s highly regarded non-date automatic movement found in many of their finest early Seamasters. The original crosshair dial is beautifully preserved, showing only minimal age, with gilt hour markers and matching hands giving it that perfect warm vintage glow.

At 34mm across, it wears superbly on modern wrists, feeling elegant yet substantial. The simple “time-only” layout offers a symmetrical, uncluttered look that many collectors now prefer over later date-equipped versions.

Fitted with a brand-new tan Hirsch leather strap, complemented by the original gold-plated Omega buckle, this watch is ready to wear and enjoy. It also comes with its original vintage Omega presentation box — showing age but a welcome inclusion for completeness.

⚠️ Notes

Although it bears the Seamaster name, please note this vintage watch is no longer waterproof. It’s suitable for daily wear and light splashes, but not swimming or submersion. These early models are best appreciated as elegant dress or office watches — refined, understated, and historically significant.

💡 Investment View

Early 1960s Seamasters are among the most undervalued vintage Omegas on the market. The Calibre 552 is a masterclass in mid-century watchmaking — durable, precise, and beautifully finished.
With its original crosshair dial, boxed presentation, and superb overall condition, this 1961 example represents an increasingly scarce opportunity to own a genuine piece of Omega heritage.
