Following the success of the Seamaster 300, Omega introduced the Seamaster 120 in 1967 as an easier-to-wear and more affordable alternative. A decade or so later, Omega brought out the Seamaster 200 as another alternative to their flagship diver line. Over the next 15-20 years, the Seamaster 200 line produced some of the most interesting Omega divers, including the watch we have here. 

The ref. 368.1062 was introduced in 1988, in 3 case dimensions (30mm, 36mm, 39mm), two case constructions (steel & steel/gold), and with both automatic and quartz movements. It has a unique integrated bracelet design, which also features a double clasp/diver extension. The watch wears incredibly comfortably on the wrist, and has the unmistakably funky '80s/'90s look. 

This example is the rarer automatic version, originally sold in 1993 and remains in fantastic condition after 3 decades. The dial is spotless, and the markers have aged to a dark, creamy patina. The case is also very full, and the original full link 1465/453 bracelet has negligible stretch. The bezel insert has gained a dark grey hue over the years, and the tritium pip matches the colour of the markers and hands perfectly. 

Inside, the cal. 1111 movement beats very healthily at +3 s/d, 275 amps, with a 0.3 ms beat error after a recent service. It comes complete with its original box, wallet, and original guarantee. A super cool neo-vintage Omega diver that does not break the bank.
