Up for your consideration is an extremely rare 1957 Omega 2937 "Seachero" with incredible dial, evenly graded pumpkin patina across the dial and hands, fully original, untouched and full of charm.
This is a first series 2937-1 with a serial range within the 2990-1 Ranchero range. These were sometimes issued for pilots or military use. This case and dial combination is very hard to find.
The case is angled and sharp, with some light scratches, but is unpolished, and comes with its original crown, correct for this reference.
We are delighted to offer such a grail piece, which is arguably rarer than the Ranchero, less have surfaced in this configuration, and we have only held one other around 5 years ago in close to this condition.
The watch is offered here on a stainless steel beads of rice bracelet, which can be exchanged for a leather strap upon request.
When you factor in what Railmaster are selling for, this is a relative bargain.
