Description from the seller

Name / Brand: Omega Seamaster

Movement: Omega 552 automatic caliber

Year of manufacture: 1962

Country of origin: Swiss Made

Case reference: Ref. 165.001

Case material: Stainless steel (Acier Inoxydable)

Case diameter: 34 mm

Style: Classic dress watch

Timeless elegance and Seamaster design:
This magnificent Omega Seamaster from the 1960s stands out for the sobriety and purity of its classic design. The dial, in a distinguished ivory/champagne tone, features elegant applied faceted indices and matching dauphine hands, with the iconic signature "Omega Automatic" under the applied logo and the italic "Seamaster" inscription at 6 o'clock, achieving a refined aesthetic of the utmost distinction on the wrist.

Age and exceptional condition:
With more than six decades since its manufacture in 1962, this timepiece impresses with the meticulous care with which it has endured the passage of time. The steel case retains clean, defined lines, presenting an excellent state of preservation that enhances the historical value of a distinguished collectible piece like this.

The Mechanical Heart (Calibre 552):
Inside lies one of the most reputed and robust high-end automatic movements in the history of Swiss watchmaking: the Omega 552 caliber with 24 jewels. A masterpiece of mechanical engineering, with rhodium-plated finish in a coppery tone, micrometric adjustment, and legendary reliability.

Case and Crown:
The stainless steel case with clean lines measures 34 mm in diameter and the original screw-down case back is decorated with the emblematic seahorse medallion of Seamaster. Notably, its original crown is signed with the brand's characteristic logo, an essential component that guarantees authenticity and care of the piece.

Functioning and Condition:
The watch is in excellent overall operating condition, with the automatic movement functioning correctly and keeping good time. As is customary with vintage high-end mechanical watches that retain authenticity and decades of history, if the future owner wishes to use it daily with maximum accuracy, it is suggested to perform the classic standard maintenance and cleaning service in a workshop.

Conclusion:
A magnificent opportunity to acquire a fundamental classic of high Swiss watchmaking. The combination of a 34 mm case size of reference 165.001, its coveted original crown signed, a legendary in-house automatic calibre 552, and a sober and pristine aesthetic, make this example an essential piece for any collector or lover of vintage elegance.
