Omega Seamaster 120 – Ref. 166.027 – Caliber 565 – Rare Ghost Bezel – Fully Original (Except Bracelet) – 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, with all parts authentic except the bracelet, 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.
