OMEGA 50's Seamaster Cal.420
Introducing the Omega Seamaster in the 1950s .
In 1894 , Omega's predecessor, the Louis Blanc Brothers Company, succeeded in developing a revolutionary movement.
Until then, watchmaking had different standards for parts, and each part had to be adjusted one by one, requiring considerable skill and time to adjust time accuracy.
As a result, highly accurate watches were extremely expensive.
Therefore, the Blanc brothers standardized parts to make them compatible and developed a movement that could be manufactured rationally, shortening development time and keeping prices low, while achieving astonishing precision at the time. succeed in obtaining.
The Blanc brothers gave this movement the meaning of "ultimate" and named it " Ω " , the last letter of the Greek alphabet, and changed the name of their company to the current "Omega Watch Company".
The two-tone dial has a unique uneven color due to aging on the dome-shaped "Bombay dial".
The faded " OMEGA " letters further enhance the vintage feel of the Seamaster, giving you a sense of the more than 70 years of history that this watch has spent.
It's not a sharp color like black and white, but a two-tone color with a pale tone, giving it a warm and soft color.
The classic design and the changes caused by aging harmonize seamlessly.
The movement is equipped with a hand-wound Cal.420 with 17 jewels.
It is a smaller version of Omega's famous hand-wound 30mm caliber, and is a rare movement that was only manufactured for about 3 years.
Although it is not plated with red gold, the beautiful base metal that is different from that is eye-catching.
Of course, each part has been carefully crafted to the finest detail.
Size: Height: 42.2mm , Width: 36.2mm , Thickness: 10.5mm .
It is a very easy-to-wear size and has a simple appearance without any flashy decorations, so it can be incorporated into a wide range of styles.
The edges of the case remain firm and the movement is in good working order.
A classic Seamaster.
The clicking sound that can be heard from the low-beat movement also creates a classical atmosphere.
This is a watch that will make you feel as if you have traveled back in time just by looking at it.
