Omega Seamaster 200m ref# 2850.5 Pre James Bond circa 1991

A handsome and unpolished case Omega Seamaster Professional 200m ref# 2850.5 so called “Pre Bond” in stainless steel. This is the popular midsize model measuring a very wearable 36.5mm and featuring a battery powered quartz movement and Omega signed ribbed style crown. With an attractive outer elapsed time bezel now aged to a dark blue, with original tritium lume dial with warmly aged luminous markers and kite shaped hands and with integrated stainless steel bracelet with single flip lock clasp.

The compact tonneau-shaped case with integral bracelet and low profile elapsed time bezel give this Seamaster a distinctly vintage, i.e. neo- vintage look contrasting with the more modern styling of the Seamaster 300 James Bond series.

There are both automatic and quartz versions of this model, this being the quartz version. With an especially clean, unpolished and very well preserved case and bracelet. The case serial # of 53 million dates this example to 1991. This model is also referred to as ref # 396.1052.

These earlier pre James Bond model Seamaster Professional 200m have gained increasing attention as collectors look more closely at affordable and well style neo-vintage sports watches from established Swiss manufacturers. The compact proportions, aged lume and unmistakably 1980s/1990s styling give this example considerable future collectible appeal.

In excellent operating condition, of course guaranteed genuine, and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate timekeeping and operation.
