Every watch we sell is fully inspected and professionally serviced to meet our exacting standards. We stand by the quality of our stock, which is why every purchase comes with a 12-month warranty as standard.
This watch is sold as watch only, which is typical for vintage timepieces. We place greater value on condition, originality, and overall integrity than on whether a box or papers happen to be present. Many vintage watches have lost their packaging over time, and we don’t believe in inflating prices with non-original extras.
If a watch does include genuine box and papers, this will always be clearly noted in the description. All purchases come with bespoke Watts On Watches packaging and full purchase documentation.

This 1962 Omega Seamaster Ref. 14700-2SC is an exceptional example of early 1960s Omega design. Powered by the automatic calibre 552 — one of the most celebrated movements Omega produced — this reference is elevated further by its rare black gilt dial.
The gilt printing on the crosshair dial gives the watch a warm, luxurious glow that changes with the light. It’s paired beautifully with elegant dauphine hands and a black Omega leather strap with Omega pin buckle, completing a timeless aesthetic.
Measuring 34mm, the stainless steel case offers a classic wrist presence that’s perfect for daily wear or dress occasions. With the gilt dial remaining crisp and clean, this is a superb collector’s piece — especially in a world where well-preserved original gilt dials are increasingly hard to find.
Why Collectors Want It
Black gilt dials from this period are few and far between, often refinished or damaged beyond recognition. This dial has survived the decades with original lume, rich gold script, and a sharp crosshair layout — making it one of the most desirable configurations in the Seamaster family.
Combined with the reliable and refined cal. 552 automatic movement, this watch stands as a fantastic example of Omega’s golden-era craftsmanship.
