A mid-1950s Omega Seamaster Ref. 2759-10 SC powered by the manual-wind Cal. 420, featuring a classic 34mm stainless-steel case and an attractive black lacquer dial displaying the natural, even patina characteristic of Omega’s mid-century glossy finishes. A clean and honest example of early Seamaster design with strong vintage appeal.
Why It’s Special
Black lacquer dials from this era are increasingly sought after for their warmth, depth, and unique ageing patterns. This example retains its original applied indices and dauphine hands, giving it a cohesive, period-correct presence on the wrist. The 34mm stainless-steel case wears elegantly and represents the understated proportions that define Omega’s 1950s output. Powered by the Cal. 420 — one of Omega’s reliable mid-century manual-wind movements — it offers an authentic vintage experience with practical day-to-day usability.
Condition
Black lacquer dial shows characteristic mid-century lacquer crazing with an attractive, even vintage texture across the surface. Applied indices and dauphine hands remain original. Acrylic crystal has been polished with light marks remaining. Stainless-steel case presents honest wear including surface scratches, light nicks, and a caseback visibly marked from previous opening attempts. Strap and buckle are modern aftermarket items.
Performance: Running steadily at –21 seconds per day with healthy amplitude for its age.
