Seamasters with a big Seahorse logo were produced for only one year and command a very high price. It is a much bigger, embossed, detailed and crisp medallion than what we have today. The two-tone Tuxedo dial has a famous ‘Coat-hanger S’ Seamaster logo. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; color: yellow; background: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: •s²Ó©úÅé; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: yellow; background: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW;\"\u003ewatch has the legendary and highly regarded movement cal.501 inside the gold-capped case. The movement was serviced on 29th April 2026, and a lucky future owner will benefit from a good power reserve. This movement is universally acclaimed to be one of the best self-winding calibres produced in-house by Omega of all time. The 501 calibres entered production in 1955, and this example is from the 1958 production run. This calibre has 20 jewels, and over one million movements of this family have been produced, but only 397,500 of calibre 500 \u0026amp; 501. Omega Seamaster was introduced in 1948 as one of three ‘Master’ watches for special missions. The mission here would be underwater. As we all know, the Seamaster was eventually also worn by a very special 007 agent. The Seamaster model was, in essence, an evolution from the rugged pilot’s watch produced earlier for the RAF and many other air forces. It was supposed to be capable of withstanding rough use and still remain stylish. Designed by the talented Marc Favre, it effectively represents a distillation of all the knowledge that Omega accumulated in the area of self-winding movement technology in the post-war period. “Omega Watch Co. Swiss” is signed on the rotor. The rotor bridge also features the wording “Twenty 20 Jewels”, while the calibre number 501 is stamped on the plate. The watch measures 34.5mm without the crown and 42mm lug to lug. The caseback has the famous big Seamaster logo and reference No. 2846 9SC 2848. The expertly refinished dial has gold faceted reliefs - hour markers with lovely original Omega Dauphine hands. The Omega Clover gold crown is original and accurate to the period\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e- obviously also signed with the Omega logo.
