The integrated-bracelet architecture, rotating bezel and Mercedes-style handset give it a distinctly late-1980s-to-early-1990s identity rather than a simple preview of the later model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition. The original matte-black tritium dial shows warm, even patina with crisp white print and matching hands. The stainless-steel case retains sharp edges with light surface wear, while the bezel insert remains clean and evenly coloured. Bracelet shows minimal stretch and has been ultrasonically cleaned for presentation. The case-back engraving is sharp, and the clasp has been previously polished – resulting in the Omega logo being no longer visible, a common trait for this model and era. Inner and outer boxes show minor interior ageing consistent with vintage Omega packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz movement functions precisely, with time and date operating as intended. Internal case-back markings suggest a past overhaul, though no supporting documentation is present. The movement’s clean presentation and overall condition indicate careful ownership and regular battery changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 396.1062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omega Calibre 1438 quartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54432255 (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1993 production; sold 1994)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 mm stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omega 1455\/453 stainless-steel bracelet (fits ≈ 17.8 cm wrist)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inner box, outer box, warranty card and cardholder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sourced from Japan and inspected in Melbourne\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Curated Dial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47766227615976,"sku":null,"price":1650.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/7953\/1240\/files\/01-omega-seamaster-3961062-hero.jpg?v=1761628223","url":"https:\/\/thecurateddial.com\/products\/omega-seamaster-professional-200m-pre-bond-quartz-3961062-1993","provider":"The Curated Dial","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
