Seahorses On Parade
The Omega Seahorse, or Hippocampus as it really is, became a symbol of Omega Seamaster water resistance capabilities.

This one is over 50 years old and still gets some wrist time..

How about yours.

This was my father's since 1969. He gave it to me 10 years ago. Serviced twice in its lifetime. Still running but needs another service.

Thanks my friend. I think the classic PO has the most impressive caseback. I don't remember another reference with one like that.

Amazing Adam. Resembles some of your vintage King Seikos. This is a surprise to me. Didn't know you owned a vintage Omega.
