Omega Seamaster Wristwatch Service

Overhaul Service of a Vintage 1962 Omega Seamaster Caliber 562 Automatic

It is an honor for me to work on watches with a great deal of heritage and history. This Omega Seamaster has many miles and memories. The owner provided me with some pictures shown below of him wearing the watch in various places in the world. When I asked him about his travels and if he had pictures, he said “So far, I’ve come across photographs of me wearing it in England, Norway, Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan! An interesting variation (for me) of walking down Memory Lane!”

His father was career military and worked both sides of the Atlantic. Even though he wasn’t in the military, he continued to travel overland from Europe to India and back in the early 1970’s. He said, “I had become interested in Tibetan Buddhism, and the purpose of my trip was to acquire Tibetan Art from the Tibetans who had fled the Chinese invasion and had taken refuge in the Indian Himalayan Hill Stations.”

The pictures below show him wearing the watch on the inside of his wrist. When asked he said, “Yes, I’ve worn watches that way since I was a teenager, easier to check the time discretely in company, as  well as protect the crystal from impacts.”

This beautiful 1962 Seamaster is now enjoyed and worn by his son who treats the watch as his own. One of the biggest problems getting the watch in for service was getting his son to hand it over to be serviced despite the fact it was long overdue.

The Omega was completely disassembled and cleaned. The movement lubricated and reassembled. Regulated and adjusted. The case and band cleaned and lightly polished. The crystal polished. The dial and hands were left untouched in their original condition. The watch was placed on extended testing. Watch Repair Complete

The watch was well maintained over the years and runs great. With continued service, the watch will run for many years and be a reminder of all the places it has traveled. I love to see pictures of people wearing the watches sent in for service. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Notice the Omega in each picture.

Thanks for reading this post.
