Omega Seamaster Ref. 14390-61-SC

Introduced in 1948 to celebrate Omega’s 100th anniversary, the Seamaster line was born from the brand’s military experience during WWII, combining water resistance, precision, and everyday elegance. Far from the modern diver aesthetic, early Seamasters were refined dress watches built for reliability and style.

This Omega Seamaster Ref. 14390-61-SC from 1961, housing movement number 18.xxx.xxx, is a quintessential example of that golden era. It features the manual-winding Calibre 285, fully serviced and ensuring excellent performance. The dial retains its original charm with applied hour markers, dauphine hands, a clean crosshair layout, and the classic vintage Omega logo. The warm patina subtly developed over time gives it that unmistakable authenticity and character collectors appreciate.

The stainless steel case, measuring 36mm, remains well-preserved with sharp lugs and the original Seahorse (Hippocampus) emblem on the screw-down caseback – a symbol introduced to the Seamaster line in the 1950s. Acrylic crystal, original signed crown, and correct “-61-SC” case reference confirm its integrity.

A perfect blend of mid-century design and mechanical purity, this Seamaster represents the essence of Omega’s heritage: understated elegance, robust engineering, and timeless collectibility. A true piece of history, freshly serviced and ready to wear.
