Points of Mention
This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch was serviced in November 2018 and comes with the paperwork for that service, it is running great. The watch is in used, but overall very good condition as you can see from the photos, the dial is starting to develop some patina.
The Watch
The Omega Seamaster Cosmic is a great looking watch and this reference has the even better crosshair dial! The case shape of the cosmic isn't quite round and isn't quite cushion, it is somewhere in between which gives a unique wrist presence. Talking about wrist presence, the watch looks fantastic on the wrist and the slight patina to the dial adds a warm eggshell tone to the creamy white, it contrasts perfectly with the crosshair too. This watch was fully serviced in November 2018 and comes with the paperwork for that too.
Personal Note
This watch just begs to be photographed, the tone of the dial against the steel case is so warm and rich, it truly looks fantastic on and off the wrist as you can see from the photos. Whoever the lucky new owner of this watch is they are going to be very lucky
