1960 Omega Seamaster Tropical Brown Gilt Dial 35mm 14390
Here we have a 1960 Omega Seamaster Tropical Brown Gilt Dial 14390 featuring a 35mm stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with chamfered-edge tapered lugs. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 43.5mm and a case thickness of 11mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side, a signed crown and a smooth bezel hold a domed crystal above a stunning Tropical Brown dial. An outer minute track surrounds applied facet indexes marking the hours, elegant Gilt Alpha hands are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At noon, we have the Gilt Omega motif and “Seamaster” underneath, completing this beautifully executed watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the embossed Omega Hippocampus in the centre, a seahorse that represents Neptune, the God of the sea. It was conceived by Pierre Borie after seeing a picture of Neptune riding a chariot pulled by seahorses. It is the reason why the seahorses are wearing a bridle, first seen on the Seamaster in 1958. Inside a manually wound Omega Cal. 285, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour, this workhorse movement was in production from 1940 until 1960. It comes paired with an 18mm well-suited vintage-style leather strap and pin buckle.
