Partially verified

This Omega Seamaster chronograph, reference 14904-62, dates to 1962 and originates from the brand's International Collection.

An outer tachymeter scale circles the dial perimeter. The watch is powered by the manual-wound calibre 321 movement, noted for its use in historical Speedmaster models. The auction description reports that the watch is fitted with an aftermarket Bulang & Sons leather strap and buckle, and has been recently serviced. The reference 14904 was introduced in 1960 and discontinued by 1962, marking a brief production period within the manufacturer's catalogue.
