Dial and Hands The dial is an exceptionally clean and attractive example, featuring a light cream and silver tone anchored by a crisp crosshair design. Applied faceted dart and arrowhead indices surround the perimeter, complemented by the applied Omega logo below twelve o'clock. The surface is beautifully preserved with minimal signs of aging or spotting, while all printed text remains sharp and fully legible. The dauphine style hands are original to the watch and show age-appropriate oxidation and spotting across their metal surfaces. There is no luminous material present on the dial or hands. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features the robust beefy lug design that is highly favored by collectors, maintaining well-preserved overall geometry. The polished surfaces exhibit visible scratches and handling marks throughout, along with some minor dings on the lug edges consistent with regular wear. The smooth polished bezel displays scratches and minor nicks matching the rest of the case. On the reverse, the caseback exterior shows wear, though the SEAMASTER engraving remains partially visible on the edge. The watch is fitted with a signed Omega crown, which shows significant plating wear revealing brass on the logo, or possibly a gold-toned logo insert. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing minor surface scratches and dust visible under direct light. Movement Inside beats the copper-toned Omega Caliber 354 bumper automatic movement, featuring 17 jewels. The caliber maintains a generally clean appearance with some minor marks on the screw heads and plates, and no severe corrosion is visible. Engravings for Omega Watch Co and the serial number are clearly present. Recording +10+13s/day on the timegrapher, it is exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The movement was serviced on 29 June 2026. Strap The watch is paired with a period correct stainless steel beads of rice bracelet, offering a classic aesthetic. It secures via a signed Omega folding clasp. The bracelet displays normal wear, including visible scratches on the clasp and links, as well as expected stretch for its age. It will accommodate a maximum wrist size of 18 cm. Condition Good vintage condition. The movement was serviced on 29 June 2026 and, supported by the recorded timegrapher result, is performing very strongly. The case shows honest wear with scratches and minor dings on the thick lugs, while the caseback engraving is softened but visible. The crosshair dial stands out for its excellent preservation and clean surface. The hands present visible oxidation, and the period correct bracelet shows typical scratches and stretch from years of use. Dimensions The case measures 34 mm in diameter, excluding the crown. Remarks This Seamaster offers a highly desirable combination of the reference 2577 thick lug case and a remarkably clean crosshair dial. Supported by a recently serviced bumper automatic movement, it represents a strong acquisition for anyone appreciating mid-century Omega design. History Introduced in 1948 to celebrate the brand centenary, the Omega Seamaster was designed as a robust, reliable timepiece for active individuals, drawing upon the durable watch designs supplied to the British military during the Second World War. By the early 1950s, the line had evolved to include distinctive case shapes, most notably the thicker lugs seen on references like the 2577, which provided a more substantial presence on the wrist. During this era, Omega utilized their famous bumper automatic movements, which wound the mainspring via a rotor that bounced back and forth between buffer springs rather than rotating fully. Today, early 1950s Seamasters with strong case geometry and appealing dial variations remain highly sought-after by vintage watch collectors. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OAS-0011
