RARE! 14K Solid Gold 1957 Omega Automatic Seamaster, First full OMEGA rotor automatic movement, caliber 471, USA Edition, Gold Seamaster
Wearing a vintage Omega Seamaster is excellent value for money but also a great investment.
For those looking for something stylish and unique on their wrist, the vintage Omega Seamasters scream value, quality and sophistication. They are incredibly well-built watches with lots of life still left in them and are perfectly adept for being worn every day.
This Omega 471 is a great example of one of the first automatic calibers that Omega produced.
Caliber 471 was Omega's first full rotor automatic movement! It’s to appreciate it for what it is: a beautiful example of mid-century, post-war watchmaking. The stunning watch case is packed with a workhorse movement. That, alone, is a testament to its strength and longevity.
The movement is the 20-jewel Omega caliber 471. The 471 movement underwent a few variations in its time. This particular version of the movement is antimagnetic and shock-resistant, with a power reserve of upwards of 40 hours.
This watch has very elegant curved lugs which give it a more luxurious and noble look.
The solid yellow gold watch case is marked with 14K Gold in the back and between the lower lugs and once inside the back case.
Perfect gift to a loved one or to yourself!

A little history:
The Seamaster is as tough as nails. It’s a watch that can dive to the depths of the ocean, climb the highest mountains, and still look good at a black-tie event. When the Seamaster was released, Omega had already provided over 100,000 watches to the Ministry of Defence, meaning the technology had been thoroughly war-tested. It’s easy to see why the Seamaster is one of the most reliable vintage watches out there today.
The Seamaster was at the forefront of Omega’s technological advancements and featured anti-magnetism, waterproofing, and shock proofing capabilities, making it, still to this day, an outstanding and robust watch.
The 4-series is very much where Omegas ‘war-time tech’ was first brought into development for civilians and it is what lead to the incredibly established Omega 5-series movements. This movement was first released in 1954, way after the end of war, so it benefits from many of the same manufacturing developments that the 5-series did. These include vastly increased shock protection, magnetic resistance, durable precision parts, a hermetic crown and the list goes on. These movements were developed in Omegas prime, right after decades of consistently producing watches built to endure war, the Seamaster was the sturdy and reliable watch.
Investment:
If you’re considering future resale value, vintage Seamasters are a great choice. The Seamaster is a flagship Omega watch that has been respected for decades, you can rest assured that these watches will not lose but gain value and if properly maintained can continue giving accurate time for decades to come.
