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

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 "Omega Automatic" signature under the applied logo and the italic "Seamaster" inscription at 6, achieving a refined and highly distinguished aesthetic on the wrist.

Antique and exceptional condition:
With more than six decades behind it since its manufacture in 1962, this timepiece impresses with the meticulous care with which it has endured the passing of time. The stainless steel case retains clean, defined lines, boasting an excellent condition that enhances the historical value of a collector’s piece as distinguished as this.

The Mechanical Heart (Calibre 552):
Inside it houses one of the most reputed and robust high-end automatic movements in the history of Swiss watchmaking: the Omega Calibre 552 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 and the original screw-down back is decorated with the emblematic hippocampus medallion of Seamaster. The crown stands out especially with the original signed logo, an indispensable component that guarantees authenticity and care of the piece.

Operation and Condition:
The watch is in excellent overall operating condition, with the automatic movement functioning correctly and keeping time. As is customary in vintage high-end mechanical watches that preserve authenticity and decades of history, if the future owner wishes to wear it daily with maximum precision, it is recommended to perform the classic standard service for maintenance and cleaning at a workshop.

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