Vintage Omega Automatic Seamaster, Gold Plated, Rare Rice-Bead Bracelet 1950s
Posted on April 24, 2025 | By admin
Vintage Omega Seamaster, a very popular series – 1950s est. Automatic Movement (and manual wind, both – functioning). Original (20 Microns) Gold Plated Bracelet, Case, Crown, crystal and Bezel etc. Sweeping seconds hand across the white dial, with black and gold stick indexes. In incredible original condition – very well preserved. The bracelet is genuine/original Omega – however, it’s unclear if it’s original to this specific watch. I can sell the bracelet separately as it’s very rare and well sought after. Let me know if you’d prefer a separate deal, then I can replace it with a leather strap and lower the price. Ref: 14700 2 SC. Lug Ends Ref: 512/12. Clasp No: 32 (all 20 micron gold-plated). Lug to Lug Width: 42.2mm. Case Width (including crown): 36.4mm. This one is a real beauty. The original (engraved) crystal is clear. The cream dial is clean, with black and gold dauphine-lumed hands and batons, with a sweeping seconds hand. The original (engraved) crown controls the hands correctly. The gold plating of the case, crown, bezel and lugs is in great shape. The original gold bezel is also (miraculously) present. The steel screwback case has the iconic “Hippocampus” logo engraved on it, synonymous with vintage Omega Seamasters. The interior is clean, with the movement running perfectly. The timegrapher indicates that it keeps perfect time (gaining only 1 second a day), likely due to the horologist (watch expert) oiling the movement (jewels) during its inspection, which also verified its authenticity and approved its working condition. The rice-bead bracelet is an original vintage Omega, with solid gold plating throughout the links, lug ends and functional (tight) clasp. The red Omega case is also in good condition and is included. I will also give it a final clean, including using “Polywatch” to polish out minor surface scuffs. Please examine all of the photos carefully. Open to negotiations – DM me.
