The dial remains remarkably clean and well-preserved, while the hands show expected oxidation and aging. The stainless steel case and original bracelet display honest wear, with moderate surface scratches and small dings that do not detract from the crisp overall geometry. The crystal is clear and free of major scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly. Dimensions The case measures 33 mm (excluding the crown). Remarks This Seamaster is an excellent example of Omega's late 1970s and early 1980s design language, retaining its original integrated bracelet and distinctive TV-dial format. The beautifully textured silver dial and strong movement performance make this a highly compelling vintage configuration. History The Omega Seamaster line has continually evolved since its introduction in 1948, adapting to the stylistic shifts of each passing decade. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Omega embraced geometric, television-shaped cases and integrated bracelets, reflecting a broader industry trend toward bold, architectural watch design. The Caliber 1020, introduced during this era, provided reliable automatic winding with a practical day-date complication. Watches from this period represent a fascinating transition in Omega's production, combining traditional mechanical watchmaking with distinctively modern aesthetics. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OSA-0045
