Vintage Omega Seamaster Small Seconds Watch
This is a vintage Omega Seamaster wristwatch, likely dating from the early to mid-1950s. The watch features a round, stainless circular case with a gold-toned (possibly gold-capped or plated) bezel. The dial is a cream or off-white color with a notable 'stardust' or 'eggshell' texture, which may be original or a result of aging (patina). It features applied gold-tone Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, interspersed with dagger-style hour markers. A key distinguishing feature is the recessed sub-dial for small seconds located at the 6 o'clock position. The hands are of the 'Dauphine' style in a matching gold tone. The 'Omega' logo and 'Seamaster' script are printed clearly below the 12 o'clock marker. In terms of condition, there are visible scratches on the acrylic crystal, particularly between the 1 and 2 o'clock positions. The gold plating on the bezel shows signs of wear and thinning, especially near the lugs, revealing the base metal underneath. The crown appears to be a replacement or has significant wear. The lugs are of the 'drilled' variety, typical for this era, and show some surface scratches. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high quality of mid-century Swiss horology, though the piece currently shows the honest wear of a daily wearer.
