This triple gold men’s Omega Seamaster Brest is all in very good cosmetic and mechanical order.  Model reference 396.0956

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1984,  The paperwork shows it was sold in December 1986.  Either year is valid for a birth year watch.  The paperwork quotes the incorrect model reference, but this is actually more prominent on the inside of the case back so we do not doubt the paperwork is for this watch.  (This model was available without a bracelet with model reference 196.0251, which is what is incorrectly quoted).

CONDITION

The Omega Seamaster name goes back to 1948, and is still the mainstay of Omega’s product lineup.  This Brest model was introduced in 1982, and uses the in house calibre 1430 quartz movement.  Unlike some Omega quartz calibres this has a standard crown set up, with no extra pushers.  It was an extremely successful movement, and its thin profile allowed for very thin watches at affordable prices.  Ultra flat mechanical movements were always very expensive, but this gave the same look at a fraction of the cost.  This movement was also fitted to Constellation, Dynamic II, Polaris and Mariner III Omega watches among others, as shown on Omega’s website here.  Everything is working as it should.  The 20 micron plating on the case and bracelet is all in good order too, and the glass has just a couple of very minor marks.  The dial is very clean, and a new battery will be fitted before this watch is sent out.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box, original papers and our Certificate of Authenticity.
