A framed day-date window sits at the three o'clock position, and there is no significant spotting or damage visible on the dial. The gold-tone baton hands feature matching black inserts and show moderate age-related oxidation along with some surface dirt visible under macro inspection. The sweep seconds hand appears straight.

Case and Crystal
The watch features a classic 1970s C-shape cushion case design. It shows honest wear consistent with its age, retaining its original geometry. There are visible scratches and handling marks throughout the surface, as well as some wear to the gold plating on the sharp edges and lug tips. The integrated smooth bezel area displays scratches and light wear consistent with the rest of the case. A gold-tone knurled crown, clearly signed with the Omega logo, shows some surface wear. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, with some light surface scratches visible at certain angles. The stainless steel caseback is finished with the Seamaster Seahorse medallion.

Movement
The watch is powered by the automatic Omega Caliber 752. The copper-colored plating is bright and intact, maintaining a clean appearance with no obvious signs of corrosion or moisture damage. The rotor and bridges show crisp finishing, and the movement bears clear engravings including OMEGA WATCH Co SWISS, TWENTY-FOUR 24 JEWELS, the 752 caliber mark, and the serial number. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.

History
The Omega Seamaster reference 166.064 is defined by its oversized C-Case design and 22mm lug width, giving it a larger wrist presence than many typical vintage dress watches. This model utilizes a unique internal mounting system with a brass ring and rubber bushings to isolate the movement from external shocks. It is powered exclusively by the Omega Calibre 752, a non-chronometer day-date movement introduced in 1967. Oscillating at 19,800 vibrations per hour, the caliber features a 50-hour power reserve and a quickset date mechanism, representing Omega's robust mechanical engineering during the era.
