Omega Seamster 35

A striking example of 1980s watchmaking, this Omega Seamaster reference 196.0218 is a beautifully preserved gold-gilded timepiece that captures the era’s refined aesthetic. The 14k gold-plated (20 microns) case measures 35 mm and presents a distinctive dial design: a brushed gold-toned center framed by a circular smooth steel ring, creating an elegant two-tone contrast with strong visual depth. Applied gold indices and a date window at 3 o’clock maintain clean legibility and classic symmetry. The crown bears the original Omega logo and remains correct for the model. The caseback is stainless steel and features the familiar engraved Seamaster seahorse emblem. Fitted with a genuine brown leather strap (not original) and the original Omega buckle, the watch retains an authentic overall look while offering modern wearability. Powered by an Omega caliber 1337 quartz movement with 17 jewels, the battery has just been replaced and the movement has been fully serviced — the watch is in excellent running condition.
