Omega Seamaster, Ref. 14390-61-SC, Cal. 285, Men’s Manual Wind Vintage Watch, 1961
A matte beige dial and faceted dauphine hands define this Omega Seamaster watch from 1961, reference 14390-61-SC. The slim 35 mm steel case has elongated straight lugs and an original signed crown with a thin, easy-to-grip profile. Hand-wound caliber 285 drives a no-date display with central seconds, paired here with a dark brown replacement leather strap and white stitching.
Matte dial and faceted dauphine hands
The smooth matte dial avoids strong reflections. Applied baton markers have onyx-style inlays, adding dark accents to the light surface. The Seamaster script at 6 completes an uncluttered arrangement.
The dauphine hour and minute hands are sharply faceted, catching light along their polished faces. A slim central seconds hand sweeps across the dial. The hands and markers form a coherent, period-correct display without a calendar aperture interrupting the layout.
Long lugs, slim bezel and original crown
The stainless-steel case has a slim polished bezel and elongated straight lugs. Although the diameter is 35 mm, the lug shape gives it a slightly larger visual presence on the wrist. The head remains sharp and well preserved, with an 18 mm strap attachment.
The screw-down caseback carries a Seahorse emblem, a detail associated with the Seamaster's original water-resistant design. The original Omega-signed crown is thin and easy to grip, and hand winding is smooth.
The aftermarket dark brown leather strap has white stitching. Its contrasting seams make a visible border beside the restrained steel head, while the leather keeps the watch suitable for both formal and casual clothing.
Manual-wind caliber 285
The manual-wind watch uses Swiss Omega caliber 285, a 17-jewel movement with a nominal frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour. Hacking seconds supports time setting, and winding is smooth. Its straightforward construction contributes to its serviceability.
Seamaster watches from the early 1960s combined practical case construction with the slim proportions of a dress watch. Reference 14390-61-SC expresses that combination through its matte dial, faceted hands and elongated lugs.
The watch is used, fully serviced and fully operational, currently running accurately. Its original watch components, including the signed crown, are preserved, with an aftermarket strap fitted. It comes with a 12-month warranty, and worldwide shipping is available with secure packaging.
