Seamaster Automatic
Omega Seamaster Automatic, reference 165.067, with a textured champagne ‘sparkle’ dial, from circa 1969. The gold-plated case has a stainless-steel screw-back and measures approximately 35.2 mm excluding the crown (37.8 mm including the crown). Swiss Omega calibre 552 automatic movement, 24 jewels.
This Seamaster is fitted with Omega’s calibre 552, a 24-jewel automatic movement without a date function. The textured champagne dial changes noticeably with the light.
The watch is in good vintage condition and was running correctly at the time of listing. The champagne textured dial retains its factory-style sparkle finish, clear printing and applied hour markers; under close inspection, a few small dark marks are visible near the centre, together with a faint circular trace beneath the hands. The gold-plated case shows normal age-related wear, with the plating worn through in places around the lugs and case sides, revealing the base metal underneath — cosmetic and consistent with the watch’s age and previous use. The stainless-steel screw case back shows surface scratches; the Seamaster hippocampus medallion remains clearly defined. The acrylic crystal shows light superficial marks from normal use. Fitted with a modern black leather replacement strap and gilt-tone pin buckle, neither made by Omega. Service history is unknown, and water resistance has not been recently tested. No original box or papers.
