ORIGINAL 1970s RETRO WATCH
OMEGA SEAMASTER CHRONOMETER F300Hz - REF 12JA17
 

A rare treat for all you omega lovers - classic 1970s watch using the latest electronic technology and the cutting edge of its time. This is serious quality and these electronic watches are getting very collectible. The movement is based around Bullova's Accutron system of using a tuning fork that is vibrated by small electro magnets and the vibrations are used as the power source for the watches mechanical movement. It is extremely accurate and allowed Omega to market them with a chronometer badge. Swiss made and it really shows with this fantastic build quality, being hewed out of solid stainless steel for the case and bracelet. This model is a fine example in used but extremely nice condition and it is an exceptionally rare F300 . One of the models that are now seldom found for sale and rarer than the lobster Chrono models . The crystal is brand new and freshly fitted and the watch recently had a service . Featuring a handsome dial in a brushed silver and furnished with chrome batons and hands . A quick set day/date window is at 3 and the famous red Omega logo ( F300 watches had red logo ) at 12 . In very good all round condition and looks to have hardly been used , with full complimentary of links in the bracelet that it had when new . It is running perfectly and holding time ( hear the classic Accutron humming when you put it to your ear ) . Large dimensions all round on this serious man's retro watch.
