Omega Seamaster 14799 Ribbon Dial WITH box from 1961

A true piece of horological history, this 1961 Omega Seamaster Ref. 14799 is a prime example of Omega’s craftsmanship during the golden era of Swiss watchmaking. This model features the sought-after ribbon dial, a design distinguished by its subtle vertical brushing, creating a refined and elegant texture that plays beautifully with the light.

Historical Significance

Introduced in the late 1950s, the Seamaster was Omega’s answer to the growing demand for robust yet sophisticated timepieces. The Ref. 14799 houses the legendary Caliber 552, an automatic movement known for its reliability and precision. The Seamaster line was initially developed with water resistance in mind, and while vintage pieces like this are best kept away from water today, it still carries the legacy of Omega’s engineering prowess.
