Description from the seller
Omega Seamaster Automatic Compressor – Cal. 565 | Ref. 166.042
The Omega Seamaster has earned its place among the most iconic names in Swiss watchmaking, celebrated for combining robust engineering with timeless elegance. Throughout the 1960s, Omega produced a variety of Seamaster dress references powered by the legendary Calibre 565, a movement regarded as one of the brand’s finest automatic calibres for its reliability, smooth operation, and quick-set date function. Larger “Jumbo” references from this era are especially sought after today, offering modern wrist presence while retaining the refined character of vintage Omega design.
This impressive example features a desirable oversized tonneau-style case finished in elegant 18K gold plating, paired with a beautiful champagne sunburst dial that perfectly complements its warm appearance. The applied baton markers, clean date window, and distinctive case architecture create a sophisticated aesthetic that effortlessly bridges dress and everyday wear. Powered by the renowned Omega Calibre 565 automatic movement, this Seamaster represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of Omega’s most respected vintage automatic models.
Important Note: High-resolution images may exaggerate minor imperfections not visible to the naked eye.
