This is a 1960s Omega Seamaster chronograph. The ref is 105.005. It has the 321 movement (the same as in the famous moon watch). It is a high quality manual wind column wheel movement. The watch keeps excellent time and the chronograph functions work perfectly.
I bought this watch about 15 years ago from a well-known Internet based watch dealer. I have worn it sparingly since then and not at all the last 3-4 years. It is overall in very good condition considering that is about 50 years old. There is one small nick on the lower left-hand lug and the crown is worn. I haven't done it but I understand that replacing the crown is a relatively minor repair. I am told about $100 or so if you wanted to do it. I kind of like how it goes with the rest of the watch. Otherwise, the gold filled case looks good, the dial is original, unfinished and perfectly clean and overall the watch has a really nice look. I have it on a period appropriate NOS black Omega strap, but I can include a brown alligator strap I wore with it. The case is about 35 mm and the watch looks good with dress and more casual clothes.
I'm really on the fence about letting this watch go but, as I mentioned, I haven't worn it for a while and maybe someone else should get to enjoy it.
