Omega Seamaster Beads Of Rice (Ref. 2975-1), 1950s

Dealer description — Huntington Company

Timeless and Attainable Start your vintage journey with confidence. History & Significance The ref. 2975-1 represents an early chapter in the Seamaster line as Omega moved into the period of fully automatic, chronometer-grade movements. Produced in the late 1950s, this reference houses the cal. 500, the first iteration of Omega’s famous 500-series automatics that would eventually define the brand’s reputation for reliability throughout the 60s. The design is distinctly mid-century: a clean silver dial, applied indices, dauphine hands, and a classic polished steel case sized for everyday use of the era. This example also features an original Omega bracelet and comes with a period-correct red Omega box, adding notable completeness. Examples in this condition, with both the bracelet and box, do not surface often. Writer’s Thoughts This Seamaster captures the quiet refinement of late-50s Omega. The proportions feel natural on the wrist, the dial carries that soft vintage warmth, and the early cal. 500 gives the watch historical weight. It is one of those references that grows more enjoyable the longer it’s on the wrist. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega is offered in original condition, representing an uncommon and stylish take on one of Omega’s most iconic model families.
