No. 812 / Omega Seamaster Gold Cap - 1969

  OmegaSeamasterGold Cap Case / 1969 Intro This Omega Seamaster from 1969 features a stunning sunburst silver dial. It also boasts a gold cap case, which is second only to a solid gold case in terms of the amount of gold used. This is truly a beautiful piece that any watch collector can appreciate. Story Since the Seamaster’s launch in 1948, it has been the vibrant, beating heart of Omega's collection. The key to its longevity, in part, lies in its adaptability. It comes in dive watch models, which were worn by professional divers (and James Bond), or dress models favored by the likes of Mad Men’s Don Draper. In many ways, the Seamaster can be seen as Omega's counterpart to Rolex’s Datejust. They have many similarities: a waterproof case, in steel or gold, with slim proportions. However, what gives the Seamaster an edge over the Datejust is its affordability. Whether steel and sporty or gold and glimmering, there’s truly a Seamaster for every taste, every budget, and every wrist.
