It has a cool retro style, beautiful sunburst finished case, and royal blue dial. Its dial is a rich royal blue color, despite what the photos seem to suggest.
Powering the watch is Omega's caliber 752 movement with twenty-four jewels (seven more than in many Seamaster versions from the period), day of the week indication, and a quick-setting date.
The 700 series has a direct lineage with the celebrated 500 series, and is arguably as good, and collectors are beginning to recognize it accordingly.
The 752 was the top-tier option, the only caliber in the 500/700 line with both day and date capabilities, and one of the last superior 500/700 series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs. They were one of the finest mass produced movements from the era.
It measures approximately 35mm in diameter without the crown, in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Rolex Datejust.
It has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. The case presents as mint with very clear stamping.
The dial with pleasing "wide boy" markers has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled it.
For the finishing touch a new calfskin leather strap has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.
