Omega Seamaster Quartz Rare Date (1980) – a rare steel model with character
Not every vintage Omega is a hand-wound or automatic model – quartz watches from the early 1980s, in particular, are increasingly being recognized as distinct collector's items today. This 1980 Omega Seamaster, with its silver dial and date display, is one of the rarer versions of this era and impresses with a well-maintained, carefully refurbished appearance.
Rare, well-maintained and with original crystal
This Seamaster comes with its original mineral crystal, which is in mint condition – a nice detail for a watch over 45 years old. The case, bezel, and case back are very well maintained, and the bracelet is also in very good condition. Before sale, the case was high-gloss polished and professionally reworked, the bezel was polished to a high shine, and the satin-finished areas of the bracelet were re-finished. The dial shows good, age-appropriate condition. In summary, a watch that combines its rarity with a correspondingly well-maintained appearance.
