It is full size measuring 35.5mm in diameter without the crown, about the same size as a Rolex Datejust.
Powering the watch is its original Omega caliber 1342 quartz movement with quick-setting hour for easy changing of the time zone and date.
But what is most striking about the watch is its incredible condition! It is 100% Omega down to its Omega waterproofing seal!
It is in true expertly restored condition and presents as just short of like new. It presents as a 9.8 out of 10 and is very clean even in the "engine bay" hidden underneath the back.
The dial has been meticulously refinished - its gilt printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Photos of the inside available upon request.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Omega Seamaster:

Kennedy. Omega has been the official timekeeper for 21 Olympic Games and is the official chronometer of NASA.
