Omega Seamaster Professional 200M 368.1062 (1993)

Available now on auction by Second Vintage This is a distinctive and highly collectible example of the Omega Seamaster 200m, affectionately known to collectors as the "Pre-Bond." Representing the final evolution of this series before the introduction of the Seamaster Professional 300m, this specific reference features the desirable "Chronometer" rated dial and the robust automatic movement. With its integrated bracelet design reminiscent of the Gerald Genta era and a beautifully patinated dial, this timepiece offers a perfect blend of neo-vintage charm and serious horological history. Brand: Omega Model: Seamaster 200m Reference Number: 368.1062 Serial Number: 49571778 Movement: Omega Caliber 1109 Automatic Dial: Matte black with tritium indices Case Size: 39 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: 1993 Condition: Good vintage condition with visible signs of honest wear, featuring a very well-preserved dial and strong mechanical performance. Dial and Hands The matte black dial is in excellent vintage condition, serving as a high-contrast backdrop for the "Seamaster Automatic Chronometer 200 M" script. The tritium hour markers have aged to a warm, creamy patina that is highly sought after by collectors. The sword-style hands match the dial aesthetics well, showing characteristic aging and slight texture to the lume, consistent with the watch's vintage nature. A date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, framed to maintain symmetry. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features the model's signature integrated lug design and satin-brushed finish. It is in good vintage condition, showing honest wear including scratches and small dings along the case flanks and edges, typical for a tool watch of this age. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a black insert with silver numerals; the insert shows visible scratches and wear marks, adding to the watch's rugged, field-used character. The signed Omega screw-down crown functions correctly. The crystal appears clean and clear. Movement Powering the watch is the Omega Caliber 1109, a COSC-certified automatic movement. This high-grade caliber was introduced towards the end of the Seamaster 200m production run, making it a technically superior variation. The movement is clean and is running with very strong results with timegrapher test showing +4 to +6 seconds per day with strong amplitude, which indicates a healthy movement offering reliable vintage performance. Strap The watch is fitted with its original integrated stainless steel bracelet (Ref. 1465/453). The bracelet features the secure Omega-signed folding clasp with a double-lock safety system. The bracelet shows surface scratches and wear consistent with the case. Due to the integrated design, the watch has a distinct fit and is currently sized for a smaller wrist profile. Condition This piece is graded in good vintage condition. While the exterior case and bezel show clear evidence of use and history, the dial remains remarkably clean and attractive. The wear is cosmetic and structural integrity remains excellent. Dimensions With a case diameter of 39 mm, the watch sits comfortably on the wrist, offering a slim profile of approximately 10 mm thick. The integrated bracelet design allows the watch to hug the wrist closely, making it an excellent daily wearer that slides easily under a cuff. Remarks The "Pre-Bond" Seamaster 200m is enjoying a surge in appreciation among enthusiasts, particularly the automatic chronometer versions which were produced for a relatively short window. This example, with its sword hands and chronometer-rated Caliber 1109, represents the pinnacle of this specific reference's development. History Introduced in 1988, the Seamaster 200m was Omega's professional diver intended to bridge the gap between quartz precision and mechanical tradition. Designed during a time when integrated bracelets were defining the luxury sport watch market, it earned the nickname "Pre-Bond" because it was the immediate predecessor to the blue-dialed Seamaster 300m worn by Pierce Brosnan in *GoldenEye*. This specific Chronometer version hails from the very end of the production run, making it a significant transitional piece in Omega's diving lineage. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OCS-0004
