1965 Omega Automatic Seamaster Model 166.009 Calendar Model steel with onyx baton dial
type: Product
description: This Watch A customer recently asked us, “What is a classic Omega Seamaster?” and really, this is the answer. We have here a truly classic stainless steel Omega Seamaster, reference 166.009, dating to 1965. It has all the ingredients people look for in a good 1960s Seamaster: elegant proportions, a clean automatic movement, a practical date function, and an original dial that has aged honestly without losing its charm. The satin-silver dial is the real centre of the watch. It has a soft radial finish that catches the light beautifully, with just the right amount of gentle spotting and even patina to remind you that this is now almost 60 years old. The applied chrome baton hour markers are especially attractive, each with black onyx-style inserts that give the dial a sharper, more refined look. These darker accents are matched by the original sword-style hands, again with black detailing, giving the whole watch a very smart and balanced appearance. At 3 o’clock is the date window, complete with the original Omega cyclops magnifier in the crystal. This is a lovely period detail and one that is often missing or replaced on watches of this age. It gives the watch a very distinctive 1960s feel and adds a practical touch without spoiling the clean layout of the dial. The Seamaster script at 6 o’clock is also exactly what you want to see — elegant, understated and instantly recognisable. The 34.5mm stainless steel screw-back case is a great size for a vintage Omega. It wears neatly, but not small, and the long, polished lugs give it a lovely presence on the wrist. The caseback carries the classic Seamaster hippocampus emblem, another detail that makes these 1960s models so collectable and so recognisably Omega. Inside is Omega’s automatic calibre 562, one of the dependable full-rotor automatic movements that helped build Omega’s reputation during this period. It is a proper vintage in-house Omega movement and a very strong reason why these watches remain so popular today. …
