Condition

This is an absolutely incredible Omega Seamaster Polaris from the early 1990s, showcasing the distinctive and highly recognizable design of this fascinating period in Omega's history. This spectacular example features an interesting stainless-steel case accented by elegant 18ct gold detailing, complemented by an integrated bracelet with an Omega-signed gold clasp link. The uniquely styled dial is relatively small in proportion to the case, yet stands out beautifully with its crisp white surface and recessed central section. The hour markers are replaced by luminescent dots, giving this watch a distinctive and unique appearance while enhancing the dial's clarity and legibility. The watch remains remarkably clean and well preserved after all these years and is working flawlessly and keeping excellent time, making this a superb example of the distinctive Omega Seamaster Polaris. We have had this piece fully serviced.

Case - This piece features a stainless steel case with an 18ct gold inlay, which remains in fantastic condition, showing common light signs of use.
