FS: FS: Omega Vintage Seamaster Chronograph 176.005, "Jedi"

I know, I know, this is not the one that Chuck actually dubbed the Jedi. But everyone calls it that now, and as Wittgenstein said; "The meaning is the use."

Omega 176.005 with the famous cal. 1040 automatic chronograph movement, which is Omega's decorated version of the Lemania 1340. The chronograph functions well and zeroes out. The watch is running strong, but I don't know the service history. The dial shows some subtle age spots. It just came back from Jack Alexyon, who restored the top to its original brushed finish (he didn't service the movement, just refinished the case). S/N 356xxxxx places it around 1972.

It's BIG: 42mm width excluding crown, 48mm top to bottom, and a tall 15mm deep. The lugs are 20mm. It's got quite a presence - square watches tend to look much bigger than round ones, and it's just way too big for my little 6.75" wrist.

The watch will ship on one of Squinky's unpadded NOS rally bands in black calf, which is new and has never been worn. Because of the aged dial and various dings (including a big one at 8:00) I would conservatively rate it TZ 85%.

$1150 obro includes overnight shipping to USA addresses and PP fees, Europe, Asia, Australia must pay actual shipping costs with the carrier of your choice.

I'm happy to provide you with references, just ask!

Thanks for looking!
