That's one of the premier references to showcase . . .
. . . a cal 601 movement. Derived from automatic cal 55x, manual winding cal 601 was installed mainly in relatively low-key references, with the SM 120 being one of the more collectible issues.
My Genève ref 137.001 . . .
. . . is the only Omega fitted with a cal 602, the chronometer-certified version of the 60x series. It's the most accurate performer in my collection, running easily within a second per day over long stretches.
Whenever anyone asks my opinion of the best performing movement to search for in the world of vintage, my reply is any movement can be adjusted to perfection, but for the money, you can't go wrong with an Omega cal 60x.

Found an image of a cal 602 . . .

I'd be happy to have . . .
. . . any of them! One of my, if not the , favorite vintage Seamaster(s) would be ref 166.0251. [photo/watch credit: smorrisonmd, 2013] I went all-out last year to get the Ultra Deep, but wouldn't pass up a favorable opportunity to lock in a baby Ploprof....
When I say 'favorable' . . .
. . . what I really mean is walking into a pawn shop or, better yet, a garage sale, to find one ~ $500. 🤑
Ah, like that guy who found the JLC Deep Sea Alarm at the Goodwill store.
I dream of that too!
