Condition

This is a budget entry to the world of Omega. This Seamaster Quartz is showing its age in various places around the case whether it be chips, plating wear and age related scratches. It is a survivor and still presents well enough to have a place in a collection even as an everyday watch given that its quartz movement is performing perfectly and the linen effect dial is still in very good condition and also incorprates a fully functioning date complication. 

Dial - The linen effect dial has various bits of age related patina. The dial still presents very well indeed.

Case - The case is showing age related wear in various places. Please see the photographs as these form part of the description.

Crown - The crown is original and in perfect working order. To change the time can be tricky for a first timer but a quick YouTube video on how to change the time on an Omega Quartz will definitely allow you to do it with ease. 

Movement - This piece features its original 1342 movement which is in perfect working order and is keeping excellent time. 

Case back - The screw down case back features the famous Seamaster logo and also has an inscription. It is showing age related wear but remains in good condition.

Strap - The bracelet is showing its age with plating loss in various places along with scratches and other wear that you would associate with a watch of this age.

Crystal - The mineral crystal has a few marks which are more visible in certain light.

For a watch of this age, this piece is in spectacular order and is ready to wear!
