The year 1959

Last night I was holding my vintage Seamaster chrono in my hands...

Couldn't help wondering how many owners she had before I got my hands on this beauty.

The year she was born Gunsmoke was one of the most popular television shows

The year she was born Elvis sang "A Big Hunk O' Love".

The year she was born my dad was 18 years old...

There is something about a vintage timepiece like this.
Every time I hold one in my hands my mind takes me back......decades back..

I think it's safe to say that vintage timepieces have some kind of ''soul''.

Man, I sure love this little chrono..

1959, the year my Seamaster Chrono was born...

That were great, great watches! :gut:

Omega before the boom of quartz-watches ...

I once bought a similar watch from an online dealer but had to give it back since it had a reprinted dial that I didn't notice from the scans ...

Grüß Gott Harald... :dr:

Yeah, those where the days.... ;( ;( ;(
