A lovely first owner example from the UK, this 1958 Omega Seamaster was purchase new and kept and used for a good few decades!

The watch has been carefully looked after by it's owner, Mr Lumm who has his name on the bracelet clasp and papers. Strangely the serial of the watch is not matching the paperwork, but I am told it was the original one that came with it. It quite possibly may have been written down incorrectly by the AD at the time, these mistakes often happened.

However, this watch features a lovely two tone dial with crosshairs and applied gold hour markers, and hands, in great condition.

The 34,5mm stainless steel case is razor sharp and appears unpolished.

The caliber 501 automatic movement is in excellent condition an recently serviced.

Overall a really lovely package, paired on its original Montal bracelet with personalised engraved clasp! This is a classic beefy lugs Seamaster at it's best.
