Sonning Vintage Watches

This is an excellent example of the rare and beautiful Omega Seamaster 145.029 in near NOS condition. The solid steel case is in excellent condition and we believe unpolished – the watch came from a collector who owned a number of Omega dealerships in the 70’s and was only worn on a handful of occasions. There are a few very minor signs of wear and also the remnants of the case back protection sticker. The stunning and original sunburst blue dial surrounded by a white tachymeter scale and contrasting white subdials is outstanding. The dial remains fully original and is preserved in pristine condition—a rarity, as most examples have shown significant deterioration over the years. The Omega signed manual wind movement (Ω861 / Lemania 1872) is again in excellent condition and has just been fully serviced by our professional watchmaker. The movement number is 32,838,851 dating it to 1971. The watch sits on a dark blue non-Omega sports style leather strap with steel buckle (the strap is used but in very good condition.

In view of the quality of the movement we will give a 12 month warranty.

This is a beautiful example of a watch from one of horology’s most famous names and will, if history is any judge, provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to treasure and enjoy. I will provide an insurance valuation in excess of my asking price. Please appreciate the difficulty of photographing this piece, it looks even better in real life.
