Omega Seamaster ref. 14389 c.1961
Here's a Seamaster you won't see very often. The ref. 14389-61-CSP is a broad 35mm with a thin profile and...wait for it...subseconds! This watch houses a Caliber 268 handwind movement, which is a part of the Caliber 30 family that was in production from 1939 all the way until around 1963. Yet another watch with the history to accompany the style...
To give you perspective on the Seamaster line, per Omega:
"Launched in 1948 to coincide with the brand's 100th anniversary, the OMEGA Seamaster line is the oldest in the current collection. Loosely based on the waterproof wristwatches made for the British military at the end of World War II, the Seamaster was first intended as a robust yet elegant watch for active individuals who wanted a watch for “town, sea and country”.
If you're an Omega collector, Seamster fan, or you just appreciate vintage watches, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what this watch offers -- especially for the price.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
