Description from the seller
Now available at auction from Second Vintage
This classic vintage Seamaster presents an attractive silver sparkle dial housed within a distinctive stainless steel C-shape case. The combination of the textured stardust dial and the reliable Omega Caliber 565 automatic movement makes this a compelling example of early 1970s watchmaking.
Brand: Omega
Model: Seamaster
Reference Number: 166.067
Serial Number: 30304137
Movement: Automatic Omega Caliber 565
Dial: Silver 'sparkle' textured finish with applied black baton indices
Case Size: 36 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: circa 1970
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: +5+7s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The exceptionally clean and attractive silver dial features a textured sparkle or stardust finish. Applied black baton indices provide clear contrast against the bright surface, complemented by a framed date window positioned at three o'clock. The dial printing remains clean with no visible loss, and there is no significant spotting or staining. Well preserved and highly legible, the black painted baton hands and matching black sweep seconds hand exhibit a clean finish with no visible corrosion or paint loss.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel C-shape case displays honest wear with well-preserved geometry. It features a tonneau profile with sweeping lugs and no traditional bezel, retaining visible brushed finishing on the case flanks. The smooth steel bezel and the case show light scratches and handling marks consistent with age. The screw-back case displays a crisp hippocampus engraving in the center. The watch is fitted with a knurled crown, signed with a defined Omega logo. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing light surface scratches visible at certain angles but remaining free of deep cracks or chips.
Movement
Powering this timepiece is the automatic Omega Caliber 565, featuring 24 jewels and a copper-colored finish. The clean plates and bridges show no visible corrosion or significant oxidation, and the automatic rotor is present. The caliber oscillates at 19,800 vibrations per hour, provides a 50-hour power reserve, and includes a quickset mechanism for the date. Recording +5+7s/day on the timegrapher, it is exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is paired with a complementary black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching. It is secured by a stainless steel buckle signed with the Omega logo. The strap is in good condition with normal wear.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The exceptionally clean dial and hands are remarkably well preserved. The stainless steel case and smooth bezel show honest, light scratches and handling marks consistent with age, while the domed acrylic crystal exhibits light surface scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 36 mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Seamaster is defined by its striking silver sparkle dial and sharp C-shape case. Supported by the highly regarded Caliber 565 movement and complemented by an Omega signed buckle, it is a thoroughly attractive vintage timepiece.
History
The Omega Seamaster reference 166.067 was introduced in 1969 and manufactured until approximately 1973. Designed with a tonneau case featuring sweeping lugs and lacking a traditional bezel, the model reflects the changing aesthetic preferences of the era. Utilizing a screw-back case design with the traditional Seamaster hippocampus relief, the reference is powered by the dependable Calibre 565, a movement recognized for its robust construction and practical quickset date functionality.
