Introduced in 1962, it was positioned below the automatic Seamasters but used the same high-quality case finishing and dial layout. The manual wind Caliber 286 inside is a direct descendant of the Caliber 30, one of Omega's most celebrated movements and winner of multiple observatory chronometry trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is gold capped, meaning a thick layer of gold is bonded to a stainless steel base. This gives you the warmth and appearance of solid gold with the durability of steel. The cream dial has developed gentle age patina over six decades, with some honest spotting that tells the story of a watch that has lived a real life. Applied gold batons, centred Omega logo, and Seamaster 30 script keep the layout clean and classical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Omega-signed crown confirms originality, and gold dauphine hands complete the vintage dress watch aesthetic. On a brown grained leather strap, this is the kind of watch that looks right in any setting, from a morning coffee to a formal dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Brand: Omega\u003cbr\u003e• Model: Seamaster 30\u003cbr\u003e• Movement: Manual wind, Caliber 286 (17 jewels)\u003cbr\u003e• Case Material: Gold capped on stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e• Dial: Cream with applied gold batons\u003cbr\u003e• Hands: Gold dauphine with central seconds\u003cbr\u003e• Crystal: Acrylic\u003cbr\u003e• Crown: Omega-signed\u003cbr\u003e• Strap: Brown grained leather\u003cbr\u003e• Year: Circa 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Reference: \u003cbr\u003e• Case Diameter: ~34 mm\u003cbr\u003e• Lug to Lug: \u003cbr\u003e• Case Thickness: \u003cbr\u003e• Lug Width: 18 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Dial: Original cream dial with honest age patina and light spotting.

The name comes from the 30mm movement caliber, a modified version of the legendary Cal. 30T2 that dominated observatory trials in the 1940s. Omega produced the Seamaster 30 from 1962 to 1970, making these watches finite in supply and increasingly collected. Gold capped examples with original dials are the sweet spot in the line, combining the prestige of the Seamaster name with the enduring quality of the 286 movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA classic Omega manual wind Seamaster with original dial and the kind of honest patina collectors specifically look for.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925769601162,"sku":null,"price":95000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9778\/3434\/files\/IMG_6436.JPG?v=1775630015","url":"https:\/\/www.rewrist.com\/products\/omega-seamaster-30-gold-capped-manual-wind-cal-286-1960s","provider":"ReWrist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
