Omega Seamaster “Beefy Lugs” – 1970 | Automatic Cal. 565 | 35mm

A superb example of a classic 1970s Omega Seamaster, powered by the highly regarded automatic calibre 565—a movement known for its reliability, smooth date change, and everyday usability.

This particular reference is affectionately known in the industry as the Omega Seamaster “Beefy Lugs” — a nod to its broader, more sculpted lug design. The result is a watch that wears larger than its 35mm case size would suggest, giving it real presence on the wrist without losing that vintage elegance.

The clean silver sunburst dial is exactly what you want—sharp baton markers, crisp printing, and that signature Seamaster script. The date display is a useful, essential tool for some, neatly positioned at 3 o’clock for practical daily wear.
