A popular but seldom seen Omega Seamaster 120 ref 166.073 stainless steel diver’s model circa 1969. Featuring a substantial sized 43 X 46mm cushion shaped case with wide rotating dark blue bakelite elapsed time bezel, acrylic crystal, and dark marine blue original dial. The dial of this model features applied bold silver indexes, large tritium lume plots, and wide, kite shaped hands.
Powered by caliber 565 self winding movement with sweep seconds and date and signed screw down Omega crown. With correct and original Omega SS bracelet with flush fit endvpieces and with Omega signed deployment buckle.
This example shows moderate use by its past owner. The lume of the hands and dial are all original, but have patina’d to a light beige color and show some loss of lume. We have left the case and bracelet unpolished as acquired. The watch has been used, but in our opinion not abused. Recently fully serviced and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate timing and operation. Due to its age, this watch should not be considered water resistant and no longer suitable for submersion.
This is the same model as owned by owner of Wanna Buy A Watch? and one of his favorite and most often worn vintage pieces. The watch has great style with well balanced size and proportions and simply great looks! The deep blue color can look almost black in low light, but make no mistake, it is a stunning deep blue, that is an ideal match for any shade of jeans.
You may be familiar with the popular Seamaster 300 diver’s model which predates this model, but we suspect you are way less familiar with this beauty. We have seen examples of this model with “built” from service replacement parts; service luminova bezel, service luminova dial, service luminova hands. They look great, built from new old stock service replacement parts post 1998, but they are not the original tritium model from the late 60’s offered here. The example here shows some corrosion on the hands surface, but there has been no restoration or repair of the original tritium lume, of the dial or the hands.
Your purchase includes our popular fine Italian glazed leather watch pouch, great for travel and storage a $65.00 retail value.
