Movement: 24761279

Omega first introduced ref.166.020 in 1962. The double ‘branding’ of the model as both a ‘Seamaster’ and a ‘de Ville’ emphasised the watch’s sporty nature (for which the Seamaster models were well-known) while also drawing on the watch’s classic, dress-style look which the ‘De Ville’ range was introduced to represent. This example of the model has a classic light silvery grey finish to the dial and there are applied baton indexes and black inserts. The watch retains its signed Omega crystal and crown. There is a good lustre to the dial with some light oxidation spots to the surface and the hands. Automatically wound via the calibre 565, the movement also has provision for quick date change. When the crown is pulled out to the second position, the date flips forward, thereby allowing easy advancement when required.

Accompanied by a red Omega presentation box, the watch is fitted with a new Hirsch Duke strap and the original steel Omega pin buckle.
