Seamaster Silver Crosshair Dial

Omega Seamaster Automatic Ref. 14701 – Silver Crosshair from 1960

The Omega Seamaster Automatic Ref. 14701 dates from 1960 and comes in a 33 mm steel case. The silver dial with its crosshair design gives it a calm, clear presence. It is powered by the automatic Omega calibre 562.

Dial, Case and Proportions

The crosshair dial carries fine, intersecting lines that give it structure without overloading it. At 33 mm, the watch has the compact proportions typical of its era and sits discreetly on the wrist. The luminous material is radium-based, which is part of the authentic appearance of a watch of this age.

The following work has been carried out on the watch: it was professionally cleaned and checked, the case was polished to a high shine and the bezel was likewise brought to a high polish. The crystal is a newly fitted acrylic crystal and is therefore not the original. The watch is worn on a new leather strap measuring 23.5 cm in length. The movement has not been tested, so no statement can be made about its running or accuracy.
