VINTAGE OMEGA SEAMASTER WATCH REVIEW


During the last week I’ve been putting on a classic Omega Seamaster

It's traveled to the top Empire Condition Building and toured Washington, Electricity (while it is raining!), rather than once stopped for any break.  Actually, it might have remained on my small wrist longer basically didn’t send it back to it’s original owner.

VINTAGE OMEGA SEAMASTER WATCH REVIEW
I wasn’t sure the way i would like this type of large watch on my small wrist.  Before you decide to say anything, I recognize that at 34mm, this watch is less space-consuming than most contemporary watches.  However, when comparing it towards the 19mm Omega I put on just about every day, this watch was daunting and that i worried it might look bizarre in my wrist.  While I am not sure I'd like anything bigger on my small wrist, I would have discovered a brand new obsession putting on 34mm watches.

The strap was altered to some blue alligator strap, which is ideal for me as with the ability to be worn with everything else, from black to brown and then any other color I possibly could imagine putting on.  The silvered dial, that has slightly altered colored through the years, catches the sunshine superbly and that i caught myself searching in internet marketing constantly.  I additionally find myself looking in to the very and searching in the original Omega symbol in the center of the very.  Although this the first is slightly crooked, it's still an incredible feature present in vintage watches, setting themselves aside from their modern counterparts.

Because the watch comes from the 1950s

Another interesting factor may be the slightly curved seconds hands. The bend is typical in older watches, and it is done purposely.  Since the seconds hands sits towards the top of the stack and there's less clearance close to the dial underneath the very, watchmakers curved the finish to support the lengthy seconds hands making it readable.

This watch seemed to be worn through some hot, wet, conditions and survived without having damage! This probably because of the fact the watch was serviced within the this past year and also the very was checked.  I additionally ensured to help keep it under my rain jacket and prevented setting it up wet.  Vintage pieces particularly ought to be double checked for water proofing to prevent damage.

The timepiece, apart from staying at an excellent access point for that vintage watch world, is an ideal dress watch.  The slim situation and modest size managed to get simple to put on from daytime to night time.  The dimensions also makes this watch perfectly unisex.  I additionally personally love that it's a true dress watch and it has no date aperture.

A possible problem I discovered with putting on the timepiece was it rotated on my small wrist.  The strap is around the newer side, and that i used it almost in the finish because of the length coupled with my smaller sized wrist.  Due to the stiffness from the leather, it might lean slightly back on my small wrist instead of flat.  This really is this type of minor detail, with more put on the leather strap would form to my wrist more.

Older, in other words vintage watches

Funnel another feeling whenever you put on them.  I had been scared of damaging the timepiece and it was most likely more careful than I must be while putting on it because of its age. Simultaneously, there's something magical about knowing a wrist watch from half a century ago continues to be running and it is in great condition.

An excellent vintage watch should take part in anyone’s collection, whether just beginning out or simply searching to include more.  There's a brief history behind these vintage pieces that, unless of course you realize the initial owner, leaves you wondering where it's been and just what it's seen.
