What to look for in a vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic 136.017 SP

When seeking a vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic reference 136.017 SP, several key elements contribute to its appeal and value. Pay close attention to the overall condition of the tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, which should ideally show honest wear consistent with its age. The silver sunburst dial, whether plain or with a crosshair, is a focal point; look for dials with minimal surface marks and even aging, though some localized patina is often part of its charm. The applied Omega logo and indices should be intact.

Originality is also paramount. Check for the presence of the correct manual-wind Caliber 613 movement, ensuring it is running well. While a beads-of-rice bracelet is a highly desirable period-correct accompaniment, the watch can also be found on other straps. As with all vintage watches, a comprehensive understanding of its condition will ensure a satisfying acquisition.
