The ladies mechanical watches are rare now. But in 1960s, OMEGA manufactured nice ladies wathces with the in-house movements.
This time I try to make the representative ladies model Seamaster using
all genuine OMEGA parts and NOS deadstocks.
I collected the genuine parts from the net auction eBay.

Attach the new dial to the movement and fix with small screws of the side.
Before placing the hands, operate the stem when the calendar switches.
And then press the hands at midnight.
Keep good clearance between the index, hour, minute and seconds hand.

The stainless steal case is characteristic oval and beautiful. I have the
plating factory gild it.

I selected the lether strap made of Teju. The teju leather is exclusice in Iguana, Lizard.
Indivisual fine pattern goes well with the nostalgic watch. Red brown color
also matches the gilding case.

| Leather belt | Caseback | Attach the belt |
On the caseback, there is the trademark of Seamaster, Seahorse emblem.
High water resistant case is formed the snap back and the plastic gasket.
 |
This watch looks powerful but its diameter is only 25mm.
I observe it to be high quarity because its case has the the sharp edges
and a precise conbination of satin and polish surfaces.
 |
The transparent OMEGA mark can be looked in the center of the plastic glass.
