Omega SHOM (WatchCo) | TiME for a new SEAMASTER with a vintage heart

Описание: The Omega SHOM model was first introduced in the early 70s, when the “Service Hydrographique et Oceanographique de la Marine” (SHOM) commissioned their own version of the SEAMASTER 200 from Omega.
This Omega right here looks nearly identical, but completely new? There is a reason. This SHOM was never sold in official OMEGA boutiques, but only online and assembled by WatchCo Australia, an official service center for OMEGA watches. Everything is original OMEGA, but only the movement inside is truly vintage. The rest are brand new service parts from the OMEGA catalogue.
In this video, I will describe the history and all differences of the WatchCo version to the vintage one from the 70s.
If you have any questions, I’ll be glad to answer them in the comments!
