1961 Omega Seamaster Automatic (Ref. LL6287-1) 'Cal. 550' W/ Checkered Guilloche Dial

The Speedmaster might be the watch that made Omega a household name (and took it to the moon), but the Seamaster has been around quite a bit longer and has its own incredible legacy worth talking about.

First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for a long time. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.

This gold-plated ref. LL6287-1 features one of the rarest Seamaster dials ever made—a silver "checkered guilloche" motif that's as eye-catching as it is incredible in its condition. It shines and shimmers differently as you move it in the light, and adds a subdued style to an already iconic watch.

DIAL & HANDS

The incredible and rare silver "checkered guilloche" dial is in fantastic condition, featuring alternating brushing to create tricks of light as the watch moves. The gilt hour markers are all in excellent condition, as are the lume plots just above each marker, which have aged to a nice light pumpkin coloration. The gilt sword hands are in equally excellent condition with inlaid lume that has aged to match the dial perfectly.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
