Omega Seamaster diver caliber 565
After the wait, finally I received my Omega Seamaster diver watch with caliber 565. It is indeed attractive, since the patina, on the hour markers, hands and bezel insert, is gorgeous and even, throughout.
I would like to know, as to the reason why the dial is marked only 'Seamaster' (though I prefer this) and not 'Seamaster 120' or 'Seamaster 300', as commonly seen in other vintage Omega Seamaster diver watches of the 60's and 70's.
The dial is perfectly factory-original and had not been reconditioned or refinished. In short, untouched.
Herewith, is the picture of this watch.
Thank-you

That is a very nice piece.
Congratulations. I've always liked the ref 166.073 Seamaster 120's very much and would love to own one one day. In answer to your question I have seen dial variations of this model that state both "Seamaster 120" with the "120" centered below the "Seamast...
Interesting dial
Thanks for the response. Your watch has an interesting dial and I have not seen any of this around. Usually, such depth-rating is found only in the very old Submariner watches. I am sure you love your watch and it will have lots of wrist-time. Thank you f...
I'm not a specialist to tell you why there is written Seamaster, only.
BUT I can tell you that you have a very lovely and attractive specimen, here. So Omega, so nice, so efficient in its appeal. Thanks for sharing these pics with ius. Best, Nicolas.
8th wonders of the world
Thanks for the response. I am glad, you find this specimen acceptable and thank you for the kind words. I have always admired from a distance, some of your 8th wonders of the world, in the other posts. Thank you.
Thanks for the compliment, Harrisans, even if I'm far from owning a watch which
Could compete with the " 8th marvel of the world " title... Well, maybe at the exception of my 6542... Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-09-20 00:17:00
Yes and No
While you are humble and unassuming, the same cannot be said about the watches, found in your collections. Of course, your 6542 is heaven send. Thank you.
a great aquisition
lovely condition, great patina on dial and hands, screwdown crown and case as per the 166.024 so it is possibly 200m WR. i've never seen one without a '300', '200' or '120' on it, but never say never when it comes to vintage omegas. enjoy it Graham
nice example of a Semaster 120....
Hi I have seen a few with just "Seamaster" on the dial... very nice watch. Good Hunting Bill
You are correct
Thanks for your response. I agree with you. I have just realized, all watches with this type of dial, model reference 166.073 (rectangular tritium) come without the depth rating, while all the others that come before and after this model reference, have t...
Thank you
Thanks for the response and also, those kind words. I am happy with the watch, since it is not only attractive and solid-looking but its price is only a fraction of that of the high and mighty popurlar vintage Submariners. Thank-you.
