A picture of a time capsule: Omega Seamaster 120 Ref ST 166027.
As I am far from being an Omega Expert, I am discovering the unbelievable diversity of the Omega Seamaster 120.
I knew the 135 027, which is quite the same ( aesthetics ) than the ST 166027, as well as the more famous SHOM and the Deep Blue, but I just discovered the ST 166027.
Here it is, a time capsule which comes with its box and papers.
It is always thrilling to be able to see this kind of stuff in this condition and with its full set.
Now, this is not my favorite Seamaster, far from my CK 2913 or a nice 165 024... But here, we are talking about the Seamaster 300!
Best,
Nicolas
PS: Thanks for its owner to have allowed me to take this picture and to share it, here.

I feel you Nico :)
Regardless of the model it’s always a pleasure to see a vintage timepiece with the original box and papers. Such a rarity these days especially that back then people simply didn’t care about these stuff. They would simply throw away the goodies and wear t...

Also an admirer of these manual wind Seamasters, Nicolas . . .
. . . which have been on my radar for quite some time. More affordable than the grail Seamasters, and my preference is for manual winds, anyways. They're not dive watches per se , even though they carry the aura. A friend enlisted my assistance in getting...

That very reference came up locally a few years ago at a fair price . . .
. . . and more recently on eBay for even fairer. As usual, there were other fish to fry, so it remains on the back burner ;-) . . .
So true, so true! . . .
. . . the best is when you practically give up the hunt, and then a perfect target strolls into your sights! ;-)
