Description
Omega Seamaster Professional 200M “Pre-Bond” (Ref. 396.1041 / PIC 2810.50)
The Pre-Bond Classic. The Reference 396.1041 represents a pivotal era in Omega’s dive watch history. Preceding the iconic 300M series, the “Pre-Bond” Seamaster 200M established the integrated bracelet design, sleek case profile, and robust tool-watch aesthetics that defined late 1980s and 1990s dive watches.
This particular example is a rare, collector-grade “full kit” in the desirable Full Size case, complete with its original boxes, manual, blank warranty booklet, and hang tag — a set that is becoming exceptionally difficult to source in today’s market.
