Dating this Watch
Using the Serial Numbers, on the movement, which are within the 43,600,000 range, we can date this Watch to 1979.
Movement
Top quality Omega Calibre 1342 Movement.
A new quality Renata battery has just been fitted.
The 1342 calibre movement was made in house by Omega. The crown on this watch does not have an Omega logo on it, it has a small stainless steel dimple in the centre in the crown.

When the crown is pulled out only the hour hand and date indicator moves. This in not a fault, it is meant to be like this.
Setting The Watch

To set the minutes press and hold the button down for 5 seconds then quickly release the button and press it straight back in, now the seconds and minute hands will move quickly. Hold the button down until the minutes are correct, then pull the crown out and set the hours and date.
To set the seconds accurately, the dimple in the crown is pressed in with a ball point pen and held down, this will cause the seconds hand will stop. If the watch is fast by a few seconds, continue holding the button until the time is correct, then release it. If the watch is a few seconds slow, pump the button and the seconds hand will jump forward a second at a time until the correct time is achieved, then release the button. If the watch is slow by a quite a few seconds, hold the button until the second hand arrives at the correct time, then release the button.

Please note above is just a Guide, it is all set up and ready to go!

OMEGA
Seamaster 
Quartz
-Swiss Made-
The Dial is in good Vintage Condition with some age related patina throughout.
An absolute Stunner!!
Marked Swiss Made.
This is the original Untouched 42 or so year old Dial that left the Omega Factory back in 1979 and I am a real fan of these Unmolested Dials, especially when they've developed some cracking patina.
 THIS IS NOT A REDIAL!!!!
Case 
Top Quality Gold Plated Case.
The Case is in very good condition for its age and nature, with no real age related marks and some very minor Scratches to the common wear area and to the caseback, which is the nature of the beast, but nothing overly major! 
Most importantly, the Gold plate is in very good nick.
Case approx. measures in at:
Diameter: 32.5mm
Diameter with Crown: 35.3mm
End of lug to lug: 38.8mm
Lug Spacing: 19mm
This Case was rated Waterproof back in the Day, it is now a Vintage Timepiece, it has NOT been tested for Water Resistance and if you wish to Submerge this Watch, you will need to have the Watch Professionally Resealed before doing so!!
Hands, Crystal and Crown
Original Hands are in very good order
Original Crystal has a slight scratch towards the bottom left corner and a very very small chip to the edge near the date. Hardly noticeable.
Original Omega Crown is in excellent order.
Strap
On a new 19mm Genuine Leather Strap, with gold plated buckle that compliments the Watch very well indeed.
