Offered here is a rare and striking Omega Seamaster "Jumbo," reference 166.032, defined by its sought-after 36mm stainless steel case and seldom-seen grey dial variation. This piece combines the unmistakable elegance of late-1960s Omega design with a robust chronometer-rated movement, making it an exceptional choice for collectors who value both aesthetics and performance. The luminous grey dial, paired with bold stick markers and a framed day-date display, exudes understated vintage charm, and examples in such stunning overall condition are seldom encountered. If you are searching for a standout Omega Seamaster Jumbo with both presence and collectibility, this exceptional offering promises to impress.

Brand: Omega  
Model: Seamaster "Jumbo"  
Reference Number: 166.032  
Serial Number: 3216020  
Movement: Omega Calibre 751, automatic, 24 jewels, chronometer rated, day-date complication  
Dial: Original and rare grey sunburst dial with applied indices, luminous plots, and matching stick hands; subtle, attractive patina throughout  
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)  
Case Material: Stainless steel  
Production Year: 1970  
Condition: Outstanding vintage condition with minor even patina; performing at +15–18 seconds/day with strong amplitude, indicating a healthy movement

Dial and Hands  
The dial is an exceptionally rare grey sunburst variant, featuring applied hour markers, crisp Omega logo with original print, and well-preserved luminous plots. The stick hands are original, with matching lume that has aged uniformly. The dial displays faint, gentle patina that enhances its vintage character without detracting from legibility or presence.

Case and Crystal  
The case measures a substantial 36mm, known as the "Jumbo" within Seamaster circles, and presents with sharp lugs and minimal signs of use. The signature Seamaster hippocampus caseback medallion remains crisp and defined. The crystal is clear, free from major scratches or chips.

Movement  
Powered by the revered Omega automatic calibre 751, this example offers chronometer-level precision and reliability. The movement is currently running well and keeping time within vintage tolerances (+15–18 s/day, strong amplitude), reflecting its robust and well-maintained nature.

Strap  
Supplied on a premium brown leather strap with white contrast stitching, complementing the watch's vintage tones and ready for immediate wear.

Condition  
Overall, the watch remains in stunning, collector-worthy condition. The dial is untouched and beautifully preserved with honest patina. Indexes and hands are original, the case shows only minimal marks, and the caseback logo is sharply defined. Performance on the timegrapher indicates a healthy and strong movement.

Dimensions  
Case diameter: 36mm (excluding the crown)  
Lug-to-lug: approx. 42.5mm  
Thickness: approx. 12.5mm  
Lug width: 18mm

Remarks  
Examples of the Omega Seamaster 166.032 in this larger "Jumbo" size are already elusive, but the grey sunburst dial variation takes rarity to the next level. This watch seldom surfaces and is highly sought after by serious collectors for its unique presence and limited production. The blend of vibrant condition, rare grey dial, and strong timekeeping make this a standout opportunity.

History  
Produced in 1970, the Omega Seamaster 166.032 is celebrated for its robust construction, reliable movement, and larger-than-usual case size for the era. The cal. 751 movement retains Omega’s reputation for precision, while the distinct design elements have ensured enduring appeal. This reference, especially in the grey dial configuration, remains one of the most desirable among vintage Seamasters, embodying both timeless style and horological significance.
