This 1960 Omega Seamaster L6288 represents a masterclass in mid-century horological refinement, blending sophisticated early 1960s Swiss watchmaking with a distinctively elegant aesthetic. It serves as a premier example of Omega's ability to combine robust engineering with the grace of a high-end dress watch.
Please take note of the 31mm case diameter. This watch is suitable for small wrists, but will look quite small next to contemporary men’s wristwatches.
The 14K gold-filled case houses a stunning two-tone, dual-texture dial featuring a contrasting outer ring that defines its vintage character. Measuring at a classic 31mm, this timepiece offers a refined presence perfectly suited for a smaller wrist, showcasing the mid-century preference for understated and comfortable proportions without sacrificing visual impact.
Powering this Seamaster is the venerable Caliber 570 automatic movement, a cornerstone of Omega’s precision engineering during the golden era of mechanical watches. This movement is celebrated for its durability and smooth winding action.

This example has undergone a rigorous professional restoration utilizing New Old Stock (NOS) components to ensure peak mechanical integrity.

Furthermore, the watch retains its original signed crystal and signed crown, preserving the authentic factory silhouette and tactile experience for the collector. The hands have been relumed to restore their appearance and function. A brand new leather band has been installed and is included with the watch.

A new leather watch band, as depicted in the photos, is included with your purchase. This has resulted in a small price adjustment to the listing. If you would prefer to supply your own band, please contact me immediately upon purchase (prior to shipping) and I will remove the band and issue a partial $20 refund. If you would instead like me to help you source and install a different band, I am happy to do so if you contact me immediately after purchase.
Once the watch has been packaged and shipped, the sale will be considered final and band deletion or replacement will no longer be an option.
