OMEGA Seamaster 200 "Pre-Bond" 1st Gen 396.1041
Tax Excluded
-Specifications This Seamaster 200, which is also introduced as Pre-Bond on the official page of Omega.
This model was released in 1988 and was produced until 1995. Because it is the model before the bond watch, it is named Pre-Bond.
During the production period of about 7 years, the design of the needle has changed and the specifications of the back cover and breath are also different, so some people are starting to collect it, and it is gradually becoming popular.
The design is different from the Seamaster 300, and it is an integrated dedicated breath, so it gives an overall impression.
There were two sizes, but this is a full size model.
The bezel diameter is 38 mm, the case size including the crown guard is 40 mm, and the size including the crown is 42 mm. Another feature of the movement is that it is equipped with Cal.1441.
The charm of the pre-bond is that it is a diver's watch with an integrated bracelet and it is relatively new in age, so it can be used easily, but it is also possible to have it as a collection piece with this 1st Gen watch. Battery replacement, back cover packing and crown packing have been replaced.
6 months warranty.

After the end of production, in 1995, James Bond attached the Seamaster 300 in the movie "007 GoldenEye" and became famous as "Bond Watch".
Although it is very detailed, this is the earliest model called 1st Gen, and it is a watch with very rare specifications only about one year after its release.
The features are that the hour hand is a Benz hand, the crown has 6 protrusions, and there is no sea hose on the back cover, only letters.
The dial has some changes over time, but it is not noticeable.
I think the condition of the index, hands, case and bracelet is good.
A tag at the time of sale and 3 extra frames are included.
Currently, it is possible to handle up to about 18 cm around the arm, but since there are extra frames, even thick arms can be used with confidence.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
