The Omega Seamaster line goes back a long way but the first watch bearing the name was released in 1947. One of the things which made the Seamaster collection become so popular is that the original watch designs closely matched the current fashion for dress watches. Not only that, but the watches were waterproof which was an exceptional thing for a timepiece at the time. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that the Omega Seamaster range began to take on the sporty appearance which has made it so popular today. For this reason when buying pre owned Omega Seamaster watches you should decide whether you’d prefer a vintage or contemporary design. This is one factor which could greatly affect the budget required for buying a used Omega Seamaster timepiece.
Omega Seamaster Models
There are a large number of different Omega Seamaster models available and this is another factor which will affect the price. For example, some of the watches available today include the Seamaster Professional Diver, Seamaster Chronograph and Seamaster Aqua Terra. These are all relatively recent watched which were only released in the last decade.
There are also a number of retired Seamaster watches. Pre owned Seamaster watches which have been retired are sometimes more valuable depending on their availability. For example the Sea 200M and Seamaster 120M have both been retired in recent years. The Omega Seamaster James Bond 40th Anniversary Edition which was released in 2002 has also been retired.
Something which you need to decide upon is whether to buy a quartz or automatic mechanical movement watch. The majority of men’s Seamaster watches use both while some of the women’s models are only available with the quartz movement. The movement that’s right for you will be mainly down to your own personal opinion and requirements. There is no “right” answer when it comes to choosing the movement for a pre owned Omega Seamaster. In some cases you may not have a choice between the different types of movements.
