The Omega watch being sold at auction

A rare watch has sold for £25,000 at auction in Lichfield after bidders from across the globe battled it out to own the timepiece.

The 1968 Omega Seamaster 300 was eventually purchased by a telephone bidder from Hong Kong.

Auctioneer Richard Winterton said he had expected the item to prove a popular lot.

> “We knew this special timepiece really was one to watch as there was a huge amount of interest from people all over the world.

> “All stemming from a routine valuation in Lichfield – what a result and we are all delighted for our client.”
