Now available at auction from Second Vintage This classic "Pre-Bond" Omega Seamaster Professional 200M presents a highly compelling opportunity for collectors who appreciate transitional design and authentic aging. Defined by its distinctive integrated stainless steel case and scalloped bezel, this mid-size 37mm example stands out through the beautifully aged, uniform creamy yellow patina across its luminous indices and hands. Brand: Omega Model: Seamaster Professional Reference Number: 396.1062 Serial Number: 53684869 Movement: Quartz caliber 1438 Dial: Matte black with creamy yellow patina Case Size: 37mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: 1991 Condition: Good vintage condition. Dial and Hands The matte black dial is preserved in excellent condition, serving as a stark backdrop for the crisp printed text and minute track. The luminous indices have aged to a highly attractive and uniform creamy yellow patina. The watch features a Mercedes hour hand and a sword minute hand, with luminous material that matches the dial indices perfectly. Under magnification, minor oxidation is visible on the metal hand frames, along with a slight texture in the luminous material. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case features a distinct integrated lug design and a scalloped steel bezel. The case displays honest wear, with scattered scratches and scuffs on the flanks and lugs, though the original brushed and polished finishes remain visible. The black bezel insert shows moderate scratches and wear consistent with age, particularly between the 10 and 20 markers, while the luminous pip at 12 o'clock is present and aged to match the dial. The screw-down crown features a clear Omega logo in relief and shows minor surface wear. The flat crystal is clear, with no significant scratches, chips, or hazing visible. Movement Powering the watch is the Omega caliber 1438 quartz movement, featuring six jewels. The movement displays a clean visual appearance with no obvious signs of corrosion, moisture damage, or battery leakage, and the battery is present. Factory engravings, including the Omega hallmark, caliber number, and jewel count, are clearly visible across the movement surfaces. Strap The watch is fitted with its original signed integrated stainless steel bracelet. It shows moderate surface scratches and scuffs from normal use, maintaining an honest and well-worn character that matches the case. The bracelet is secured by a signed Omega clasp with a visible logo and accommodates a maximum wrist size of 17.5cm. Condition Good vintage condition. This Seamaster Professional shows honest wear across its exterior components, with scattered scratches and scuffs on the case and moderate surface wear on the original integrated bracelet. The bezel insert bears noticeable scratches, particularly between the 10 and 20 markers. Conversely, the matte black dial remains in excellent condition with a highly attractive, uniform creamy patina that extends to the hands, which show only minor oxidation under close inspection. The quartz movement presents very cleanly. Dimensions The case measures 37mm (excluding the crown). Remarks This Seamaster Professional 200M represents a celebrated era of Omega's dive watch development. The exceptional creamy patina against the matte black dial, combined with the highly comfortable 37mm integrated case design, makes this an incredibly attractive and character-rich vintage timepiece. History The Omega Seamaster Professional 200M, affectionately known by collectors as the "Pre-Bond," represents a fascinating transitional period for the brand in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Introduced before the famous Seamaster 300M that would later define the modern era, this model line established a distinctive design language with its integrated bracelet, scalloped bezel, and robust case architecture. It remains a sought-after reference for enthusiasts who appreciate Omega's late-century dive watch evolution and the charm of early integrated sports watch styling. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-SPX-0003
