Slong with the cross hatching linen effect and Gilt, all baton markers in the most unusual design, pitched in the center and tapering away. Gilt pencil stick hour, minute and central seconds hands complete the dial.  The dial is signed with the Omega name and logo at 12 o'clock and with 'Seamaster,  at 6 o'clock.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 34.mm, stainless steel unpolished, screw-back case is complete with the famous Omega Seamaster hippocampus logo on the case back.

Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War.  One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary.  Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches.  Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space.  It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew.  Omega are still involved with NASA and have been instrumental in creating vital pieces of equipment for space exploration.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"personalnote\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we think\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a great fit for both men and women, Not a common dial variation as only around 20% of watches come with linen dials and a\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ebout as good a vintage, pre owned Omega as you will find.  The perfect for the vintage watch newbie or seasoned collector.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you're looking for an affordable, attractive and reliable vintage watch, you'd be pushed to find a better example along with the patina and character to match.
