Omega Seamaster White Dial 1962 (Ref. 14700) – Original Rice-Bead-Armband

Omega Seamaster White Dial 1962 (Ref. 14700) – Original Beads-of-Rice Bracelet

Omega Seamaster White Dial (1962) – with the coveted original beads-of-rice bracelet

The so-called "beads-of-rice" bracelet is one of the most distinctive and popular bracelet styles in the early history of the Omega Seamaster. This 1962 Seamaster comes with exactly this original bracelet—a detail that is particularly sought after by collectors and adds further value to this piece. Freshly serviced in September 2026, the watch is in a well-maintained overall condition.

Characterful dial with original bracelet

The white-beige dial is in good, age-appropriate condition, and with its slightly iridescent tint, it contributes to the authentic vintage character of this Seamaster. The original beads-of-rice bracelet is in very good condition and, during the restoration process, the high-gloss surfaces were polished and the satin-finished areas were refinished. The case has been high-gloss polished and looks very well-maintained, as does the movement. The watch has also been fitted with a new crystal, which looks as good as new. The dial and case back are in good, age-appropriate condition.
