Omega Seamaster Automatic Date – Early 1970s Vintage | Ref. 166.0202

Gold-Plated Case | Cal. 1012 Quickset | 35mm | Fresh Service | £995

A classic early-1970s Omega Seamaster – elegant, practical, and built as a proper everyday vintage watch. The Seamaster line needs no introduction: robust Swiss engineering wrapped in a timeless design that still looks right today.

This example presents very well, with a gold-plated case over a steel back, showing only light, honest wear consistent with age. The original cream dial is clean and well preserved, with applied gold batons and a crisp framed date window at 3 o’clock. The date complication isn’t just cosmetic – it’s a genuinely useful daily feature for those who rely on it.

Inside is Omega’s excellent Calibre 1012 automatic movement with quickset date. These movements are known for reliability, easy servicing, and accuracy when properly maintained. This watch has just been independently serviced (invoice supplied) and is running superbly. It’s supplied on a new brown leather strap, which suits the warm gold tones nicely.

Covered by our 12-month timing warranty for proper peace of mind.
