Omega Seamaster Quartz Ref. 196.0156 – Rare Beige Dial from 1979

The Omega Seamaster Quartz Ref. 196.0156 from 1979 is an exceptional vintage watch featuring a particularly rare beige dial and a matching stainless steel bracelet. Its characteristic case design appears exceptionally clear and balanced, lending this Seamaster a modern appeal despite being over 45 years old.

The watch has been extensively tested and inspected, and it runs perfectly. The combination of the rare dial, the original Omega acrylic crystal, and the distinctive stainless steel case is particularly interesting.

Rare Beige Dial

The beige dial is undoubtedly one of the special features of this Seamaster. Compared to the much more common silver or white dials, this variant appears significantly more individual and gives the watch a warm, characterful vintage look.

The condition of the dial is rated as Very Good. Together with the clearly structured case, this creates a remarkably harmonious overall appearance.

Characteristic Stainless Steel Case

The 34 mm stainless steel case features a clearly defined design typical of the late 1970s. Its flowing lines and balanced proportions make the watch a particularly successful example of Omega's design at the time.

The case is in Very Good condition and has been professionally high-gloss polished as part of the refurbishment. The bezel has also been polished to a high sheen. The original acrylic crystal was also professionally polished and is now in Mint condition.

Omega Quartz Movement Caliber 1342

Inside, the Omega Caliber 1342 is at work, a quartz movement from Omega's electronic era. The movement has been professionally cleaned and inspected. The subsequent function test showed that the watch runs reliably and all functions work perfectly.

The combination of the watch's rare design and the precise quartz movement makes this model an interesting alternative to classic mechanical vintage Omega models.

Professionally Checked and Refurbished

The Seamaster has been thoroughly cleaned and professionally inspected. The stainless steel case has been high-gloss polished, and the bezel has been polished to a high sheen. Additionally, the original acrylic crystal has been professionally polished.

The watch was then fully tested. Both the movement and the functions work reliably and exactly as expected from a well-preserved Seamaster.
