It's a Model that was popular in the 60s and has a great Movement with the Cal.552 Here some informations about this Model from Omega themself https://www.omegawatches.com/de/watch-omega-seamaster-omega-st-165-0002 If you want to check the age of the Watch you can compare the serial number with the Link https://est1897.co.uk/jewellery-watch-guides/omega-serial-numbers-how-old-is-your-omega-watch The Watch will need a service if you intend to wear it regularly. There is rust on some parts.
