Omega Seamaster 120 – Ref. 166.027 – Caliber 565 – Rare Ghost Bezel – Fully Original – With Original Box – c. Late 1960s

A genuine icon of vintage dive watch collecting — this is the Omega Seamaster 120, reference 166.027, featuring the legendary Caliber 565 with quickset date, a naturally aged ghost bezel, and original matte black dial. This example is in original condition, and comes with its original Omega box.

The watch has been carefully inspected, and all key components — including the bezel, dial, hands, case, and movement — have been confirmed to be 100% original and age corrected. It is rare to find these models in exceptional vintage and original condition

Collector Notes:
• The Seamaster 120 is a highly collectible diver from Omega’s late 1960s era, with the spirit of a tool watch and the elegance of a timeless design.
• The ghost bezel patina is highly desirable among collectors, showcasing its honest aging.
• Powered by the robust Caliber 565, featuring the quickset date function — activated by pulling the crown to the second position and pushing it back.
• While the bracelet is not original, it complements the watch exceptionally well and is fully sized for all wrists. I will also gift you 1 exclusive handmade lizard skin leather strap with original omega buckle.

This is a complete and honest vintage diver — a collector’s piece that combines rarity, functionality, and authentic charm, presented with its original Omega box.
