Historical significance

  • The official record describes an Omega Seamaster with an escapement made by Bulova, controlled by an electrically maintained tuning fork. It records sale new in Jersey, Channel Islands, in 1972. Sale location and place of manufacture are different facts.
  • The exact photograph shows the dial, gold-coloured case and bracelet. The catalogue lists metal and gold plating: a gold appearance must not be converted into a claim that the case is solid gold.
  • The f300 Hz designation is retained from the title. It does not establish a measured frequency or current chronometer performance for this example. No reference number, individual certificate or service history was retrieved.
  • Present operation, service history, battery condition and current public display have not been verified. The photograph is an identification view, not a condition report or an accuracy test.
