Perfect time to give the chunky, heavy Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean a rest and take out her older cousin.
I lifted this vintage automatic 1965/66 Omega Seamaster from a gentleman in Toronto a few years back. I took the black strap off of it and replaced it with this honey colored number.
At just 33mm, this watch is dwarfed by today's standard mega-watches. And how about that, no diamonds, no chronograph, and no tachymeter !
Less is more my friends.
The half minute which we daily devote to the winding-up of our watches is an exertion of labour almost insensible; yet, by the aid of a few wheels, its effect is spread over the whole twenty-four hours-

Sweet watch. I always like clean faces, never been a fan of chronometers. Too much clutter. I'm not landing on the moon or battling giant sea squids, so I don't need all the timers and doohickies.
I love it.
Thanks guys.
Very nice; reminds me of the new Timex that J.Crew is showing. Not that a Timex is an Omega.
