Since its release in 1948, the Omega Seamaster has become such an iconic and reliable watch to own and wear, and here is a very handsome vintage Omega Seamaster Automatic watch made in 1963, reference 166.010.
Fitted in a very sleek stainless steel case that belies its age, the case has a stylish case that flares out at the top and bottom and with the thicker bezel gives the appearance of a much bigger watch on the wrist. While it measures 34mm across plus the Omega crown, it actually appears much larger on the wrist and is so incredibly comfortable to wear all the time.
With the original dial having a wonderful patina to it, there is also the date window as well as the sweep second hand and those gorgeous hour indicators.
Inside is the brilliant 24 jewelled automatic Omega calibre 562 that has undergone a full service, runs great and comes with our twelve month warranty.
Fitted on the stainless steel Omega band, affectionately known as the Omega "Beads of Rice" bracelet, this bracelet has gone down in history as one of the most comfortable bracelets on any watch and it really completes the look of this Omega Seamaster perfectly.

A brief history of the Omega Seamaster.
First released in 1948 which was also Omega’s 100th Anniversary, the Omega Seamaster was designed to be a robust watch while still being very elegant making it one of the world’s first watches that could be worn with a suit and tie as well as a wet suit in an age where blue collar watches and white collar watches never overlapped.
The Omega Seamaster was in fact born as a result of World War II where the British were after a watch with superior reliability and water resistance with very high precision.
After the war the Omega Seamaster became known as the watch to have on your wrist and one that would never let you down, and is a testament to the classic vintage Omega Seamaster watches that we have on offer.
