Omega Seamaster Black Dial Gold Numerals (1956) – striking contrast from the 1950s
A black dial with gold numerals is one of the most eye-catching color combinations in the history of the early Omega Seamaster. This piece from 1956 displays exactly this striking contrast, thereby embodying the unmistakable character of the brand's early post-war era.
Striking contrast, refined appearance
The black dial with gold numerals is in good condition for its age and develops a particularly vibrant character precisely because of this contrast. The case, bezel, crystal, and movement are very well-maintained. Before being offered for sale, the case was mirror-polished, the bezel was buffed to a high shine, and the acrylic crystal was freshly polished. The look is complemented by a new leather strap as well as a strap in like-new condition. The case back is in good condition consistent with its age.
