If you had not heard of the Omega Seamaster Brest before don’t be alarmed – neither had we!  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.

CONDITION

The Brest name is new to us, and if we are honest we only heard of it after we had bought this watch and researched the model on Omega’s own website (see here).  The dial is very good, and the glass crystal is perfect.  The case is super slim at just 5.4 mm, and will be a revelation to those used to wearing large modern watches in comfort.  The bracelet, stamped 1412 on the clasp, wont fit larger wrists, but happily this is not an integrated bracelet and could be replaced with a leather strap easily.  We have cleaned the bracelet in our ultrasonic bath, and it is photographed with a bracelet extender to show it on the wrist.  The calibre 1430 quartz movement has six jewels and is all working perfectly, protected by that Seamaster case that was designed to be watertight.  These movements were also used in the more expense Constellation, Dynamic and Mariner collections, and it is worth almost the price of this complete watch just as a replacement part.  A new battery will be fitted prior to being sent out to you.

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