Excellent used condition is clearly unpolished. The 1 o’clock side of the case has a small ding and is disclosed, but you will basically never see it while wearing.

Dial is excellent tritium with vivid yellow patina. No scratching, bubbling, discoloration on dial. Hands are tritium and original.

Bezel is in very good vintage condition.  Crystal is original Omega hesalite with logo in center.

Caseback is excellent with original finish. Stamped st 1450022.

Bracelet is nice 1499 with 842 ends. Fits about a 7.5″ wrist.

No documented service history. No box or papers. The chrono starts, stops, and resets. Inside caseback is marked “7/2022” so assuming a service has been performed then.
