Vintage Omega Seamaster Black Gilt dial Automatic 166.002 - 33,5mm - 1961

This vintage Omega Seamaster from 1961 is quite a rare piece featuring a stunning black gilt dial with a glossy finish. The gold visible in the text, logo, hands, hour markers and minute track give it a striking look that has only grown more beautiful and appreciation with age. The stainless steel case measures 33,5mm, but the larger 42mm lug-to-lug design provides a slightly bigger wrist presence than expected. Inside is a caliber 552 automatic movement, freshly serviced in October 2025 and running excellently. Paired with a black calf leather strap featuring a light glossy finish and crocodile grain motif, this Seamaster is best regarded as a collector’s item and/or an elegant dress watch.
