Omega Seamaster crosshair 15763 from 1962
SKU: 1522
Omega Ref. 14763 (c.1962) – Cal. 562, Unpolished Case, Original Crown, Serviced
Offered here is an Omega reference 14763 with serial 194215XX, dating to circa 1962. This reference marks a significant transitional point in Omega's mid-century design language—essentially the predecessor to the reference 166.010. It carries forward the classic Seamaster DNA in a slightly more compact and refined package, just before Omega shifted to the later "Big Lume" era of the 60s.
The 34mm stainless steel case is completely unpolished, with clean lines, sharp lyre lugs, and no loss of definition. Crucially, this example retains its original small Omega-signed crown—a subtle but important detail collectors will appreciate.
Inside beats the workhorse Caliber 562, Omega’s 24-jewel automatic movement with quick-set date. The movement has been fully serviced and runs strong. A generic acrylic crystal has been fitted to preserve the aesthetic while keeping the cost practical. The dial is clean and original, with a warm, lightly aged patina and crisp printing throughout.
It’s paired with a Spanish-made leather strap, soft and supple, chosen to complement the vintage tones without overpowering them. The sale includes a 2-year mechanical warranty for peace of mind.
This is a true collector’s piece: not over-restored, not over-hyped—just a clean, honest example of a lesser-seen reference from Omega’s most respected era.
