Description from the seller

Presented for auction by Second Vintage

A quintessential 1970s Omega Seamaster with a beautiful textured dial. This timepiece features a gold-tone sparkle dial housed within a classic C-shape cushion case, offering a practical day-date complication powered by the reliable Omega Caliber 752.

Brand: Omega
Model: Seamaster
Reference Number: 166.064
Serial Number: 31235600
Movement: Automatic, Caliber 752, 24 jewels
Dial: Gold-tone sparkle texture with applied square indices and day-date window
Case Size: 38mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: gold-plated, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1970
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: -20-22s/day, running strong and steady.

Dial and Hands
The gold-tone dial features a fine sparkle or stardust texture, presenting a well-preserved surface with strong visual appeal. It is detailed with applied square indices containing black inserts, complemented by crisp black printing. 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.

Strap
The watch is fitted with a standard black leather strap featuring an alligator or crocodile pattern. It remains in good wearable condition, showing light wear and creasing from use.

Condition
Good vintage condition. The watch displays honest wear across the case, including visible scratches, handling marks, and wear to the gold plating on the lug tips and sharp edges. The textured dial is well-preserved and free of significant spotting, while the hands exhibit expected age-related oxidation and surface dirt under close inspection. The domed crystal has light surface scratches. The movement is clean and, supported by the timegrapher data, is running strong and steady.

Dimensions
The case measures 38mm (excluding the crown).

Remarks
This Seamaster offers a highly attractive gold-tone stardust dial framed by the distinctive C-shape case geometry. The reliable Caliber 752 movement and practical day-date complication make it a highly wearable and visually engaging vintage Omega.

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.
