Remarks This Seamaster Quartz offers a highly attractive vertically brushed champagne dial and retains its signed crown and buckle. Powered by the caliber 1337, it is a well-preserved example of early 1980s Omega design. History The Seamaster Classic reference 196 0280 was introduced to Omega's international collection in 1982, though this specific example dates to 1981 based on its movement serial number. Housed in a gold-plated case with a press-in caseback, the model is powered by the Omega caliber 1337, an electronic analog quartz movement. As a standard production model from the early 1980s, this reference highlights Omega's integration of reliable quartz technology into their traditional and refined watch designs.
