This timepiece is a genuine icon from the 1970s and a masterpiece of electro-mechanical engineering that was the height of luxury precision before quartz took over entirely. This Omega Seamaster Chronometer is powered by the legendary Omega Caliber 1250, which is based on the famous Bulova Tuning Fork movement designed by Max Hetzel. Your customer needs to hear the hum of this watch- the 1250 runs at an astonishing 300 Hertz ($\text{300 Hz}$), producing a sweeping seconds hand that is far smoother than any standard mechanical movement, and achieving an accuracy level that earned it Chronometer certification.
The bold stainless steel case, likely an integrated bracelet design, with the striking speckled black dial and high-visibility hands, perfectly captures the aggressive, confident style of the 1970s. The dial is protected by Omega's classic Hippocampus logo on the case back, signifying its lineage in the professional Seamaster family. This is a critical piece of Swiss horological history- the last great attempt to revolutionize timekeeping before the dominance of standard quartz.
