Title: Flat Lugged SS Omega Seamaster Turler Description: EXCELLENT condition. Nice watch with a great looking and hardly used steel case with the seamonster on the back. Nice background on the monster showing that it wasn't worn a whole lot. The condition of the Omega Caliber 562 in-house 24 jewel automatic movement is nice and bright and clean too, corresponding with the case condition. Wayne has gone through it looking for any problems and checking accuracy. The dial has aged a lot but is original and has Turler, a high end jeweler back in the day on it. Turler Omega watches are less common than plain ones. The hands are original and are filled down the center with luminescent material which has aged to a very dark color. There are tiny lum dots on the outside of the rhodium plated markers and they are aged also. The dial is original and I look at the text among other things to determine that but the reason I bring that up again is because the marking on the bottom is "swiss made" with no "t" for tritium as most dials have which are lummed. It wasn't lummed later. It came from the factory that way so I am guessing this was before they were marking them with "t". Could be radium I guess as many companies continued to use radium up until the late 1950's believe it or not. I had always assumed that they had banned radium back when the "radium girls" were getting sick in there mouths from painting radium on dials and licking the paint brushes. Circa 1963 with an unsigned replacement crown and on a brand new Hadley Roma black leather sport strap. Try one of our brand new Omega buckles on this watch if you like. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 43 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$490} Item #6015 SOLD
