The Speedmaster might be the watch that made Omega a household name (and took it to the moon), but the Seamaster has been around quite a bit longer and has its own incredible legacy worth talking about. 

First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for a long time. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.  

This ref. 2846-2848 1SC definitely deserves that special place. Powered by the workhorse in-house Omega cal. 501 automatic winding movement and featuring a broad-lugged 18k gold case with a honeycomb dial, this watch offers excellent wrist presence and exudes style and history like very few watches can.

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The 18k yellow gold case has been gently polished in the past and retains thick and symmetrical lugs. The case retains its original gold Omega-signed crown. The case back shows light, honest signs of wear. The watch comes supplied on a two-piece handmade leather strap with gold-plated tang buckle.

DIAL & HANDS

The original black lume-free honeycomb dial has aged exceptionally well, with gold speckles that shimmer throughout as the light dances around the dial's many crevices. The dial features beautifully ornate, gilt hour markers. The original dauphine hands are in excellent condition and retain all of the original radium lume, which has taken on a dark coloration.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch was recently serviced and is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
