Description from the seller

OMEGA GENÈVE “COBRA / STINGRAY” – REF. 166.121 (1973) – NEW OLD STOCK – RARE TWO-TONE EXECUTION

Offered here is a remarkable and highly collectible Omega Genève “Cobra / Stingray”, reference 166.121, dating back to 1973. This piece is presented in exceptional New Old Stock condition, an increasingly rare find for this iconic model.

What makes this example truly stand out is its two-tone steel and gold configuration. The vast majority of these watches were produced either in full stainless steel or gold-plated versions. This rarer combination offers a distinctive look and adds an extra layer of desirability for collectors seeking something beyond the ordinary.

The bold and flowing case design—often nicknamed “Cobra” or “Stingray”—gives the watch a strong presence on the wrist, perfectly capturing the daring aesthetics of the 1970s. Combined with its generous size and clean condition, this is a piece that effortlessly stands out in any vintage collection.

Powered by the reliable automatic Omega Caliber 1481, this watch delivers both performance and heritage, as expected from Omega.
