1960 Omega Seamaster Solid Gold Brushed Dial (Ref. 14704-61SC)
History and Significance
The Omega Seamaster Ref. 14704-61 SC is a refined example of early 1960s dress watch design, when Omega was producing some of its most elegant and understated models. Crafted entirely from 14k solid gold, this reference stands apart from the more commonly seen gold-cap or stainless-steel Seamasters of the same era. Its brushed non-luminous dial, paired with distinctive “coffin” markers, lends a slightly more formal tone compared to the sportier luminous versions.
Inside, the watch is powered by an automatic Omega caliber from the 55x family, known for its reliability and smooth winding system. The slim case proportions and fine finishing reflect Omega’s transition during this period toward more streamlined, modern aesthetics while maintaining the craftsmanship that made the Seamaster line a cornerstone of the brand’s mid-century success.
Writer’s Thoughts
