Model Ref 166.067 and in super fine original condition. This less conventional shaped watch has been  called the 'Bezel less' model due to its quite abstract front case shape. The shoulders curve away and the glass has a flat circular surround. This makes the watch almost seem to mound to your wrist. Combining the shape and very unique dial effect makes this watch rather special.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe original, Great condition silver sparkled dial is complete with the date window at 3 o'clock.  We love the clean lines of the baton onyx type filled with sword hands and the dial is also signed 'Omega, Automatic with the famous Omega logo at 12 o'clock and 'Seamaster' at 6.  Nothing screams 'classic dress watch' like a 1960s Omega and this elegant model is one of our favourite of Omega's 1960s designs.  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe 35mm, stainless steel, unpolished screw-back case is complete with the Seamaster hippocampus on the case back and wears bigger as it is 45mm long.  Inside is the automatic, Omega Cal 565, 24 Jewels  with pull push date change - fully serviced by us and running strongly.  The watch comes on a high quality 18mm brown padded strap for something a little different, This can be changed on request.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/6187\/6838\/files\/DSC4818.png?v=1790597784\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"238\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra Points\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Louis Brandt in 1848, Omega started out as La Generale Watch Co., an unassuming, but international business. It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass-produced caliber, the Labrador, was released. By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland. Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War. One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches. Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space. It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"personalnote\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we think\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Omega Seamaster is a must have for any collection and this is a great fit for both men and women.
