1962 Omega Seamaster (Ref. 135.003-62-SC) Silver Dial
The Speedmaster might be the watch that made Omega a household name (and took it to the moon), but the Seamaster has been around quite a bit longer and has its own incredible legacy worth talking about.
First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for decades. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.
The Seamaster 30 was a subcategory of the line, introduced in 1962 as a basic, "entry-level" model with a manual-wind movement and no date function. This ref 135.003-62-SC is a first-generation model, and notably lacks the "30" moniker on the dial. It was– and still is– a great way to get into a unique Omega Seamaster without breaking the bank.

CASE & BRACELET
The excellent stainless steel case exhibits minimal evidence of being previously polished in the past and shows full and even lugs with light wear. The case retains its original "Omega" signed crown. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The simple, yet charming silver dial is wonderfully preserved, showing nominal signs of age and no damage. The small tritium lume plots all remain present, but show minor degradation throughout when inspected under UV light, and feature a charming eggshell patina. The original tritium handset matches the dial perfectly. When inspected under UV light, the minute hand displays some light lume loss while the hour hand remains fully intact.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be purchased upon request.
