    Hey, I was recently given an Omega Seamaster 60m. Could anyone please tell me any information about ? I'm new to this sort of community so I haven't got the first idea of where to look. Thank you. photo 3.JPG photo 2.JPG photo 1.JPG

    Congratulations. It looks like a nice example of a 166.062 from around 1972. They made them in Blue with a black bezel and burgundy with a burgundy bezel. The majority of the burgandy ones I have seen have had the bezel replaced with the black one, but yours is original.

    To see the other one, here is my blue one:

    Ah, this is the watch you mentioned on Tumblr? That's a nice one, very clean condition and a rather nice desirable model too. Definitely have it serviced before wearing it though or you risk doing damage to the movement.

    Thank you for the information it seems like this model isn't that common. But I must say yours with the blue face looks lovely !

    If you're in London might be worth contacting stefan for servicing, he does excellent work on vintage Omegas

    What a lovely example you have there! Very clean condition. This is my 166.062 with burg dial and bezel yours looks much nicer!

    One of the burgundy bezel examples sold at Christies last year for $4000. No box, no papers, no bracelet and in poor condition. Extraordinary. I was so shocked I kept the photo:
