A character-rich 1960 Omega Seamaster ref. 14384 SC-61 powered by the hand-wound Calibre 610. This early Seamaster design features a warm, evenly patinated silver dial with its original printing intact, complemented by a classic 33mm stainless-steel case and Seahorse medallion caseback. A clean, honest vintage Omega with mid-century charm and reliable day-to-day wearability.
Why It’s Special
The 14384 SC-61 captures Omega’s refined 1960s dress-sport aesthetic with slim proportions, sharp case geometry, and a timeless dial layout. The original silver dial has developed an attractive, even patina with spotting that reflects its six decades of age, while the applied indices and dauphine hands remain untouched. The Seahorse medallion on the caseback is crisp, preserving one of the most recognisable signatures of the vintage Seamaster family.
Condition
Original silver dial with attractive even patina and visible spotting throughout; printing remains intact with no signs of refinish. Hands and indices show stable, age-consistent oxidation. The stainless-steel case displays honest vintage wear including nicks and scratches around the lugs and edges, while the Seahorse medallion on the caseback remains crisp. The acrylic crystal was replaced by the previous owner with a clean NOS (new old stock) example and shows only light handling marks. Fitted with an aftermarket strap and buckle.
Performance: Running reliably for its age at –24 seconds per day, suitable for regular vintage wear.
