Hi

Can someone help me to know the year and reference # of this watch.?
I was checking around and looks like 1969 ; due that 1967-1968 should say on front '' Seamaster'' bellow geneve.
The case and back are solid gold.
Pretty rare model.

One-piece case, no back.

1969 is plausible, but it could be a little earlier also. Not sure that it matters very much, the watch looks legit. For me, the only issue affecting value or desirability is what karat gold the case is.

Have it opened when you get the chance, the reference number will be inside the back of the case and the serial number will be on the movement, from that you can infer the year.

Thank you for your message. The case is 18 kt.
I do not have the correct tools to open it, but I will next week early and let you know the movement and serial number.

Why do you say it’s rare? The fact it’s 18ct?

I suspect that it is pretty uncommon to find a later Geneve like this in 18k gold. This model, with the utilitarian case style, was more typically an entry-level piece, IIRC.

I don't think that the particular combination of Geneve and Seamaster was so unusual. There was a lot of co-branding of the model lines in the 60s. You can find almost any combination if you spend enough time looking.

because in the dial say geneve and back say seamaster , yes it is 18 kt

To clear it up, a seamaster back with a Geneve dial is absolutely not rare. In fact it’s very common for this period. However, the 18ct case is quite uncommon for this case style.

Yes, you right, is not uncommon in stain steel, I found it a lot, but not in gold.
Thank you !!!

The back sure looks like stainless to my eyes. Do you have better photo to show its gold?

It looks like gold to me, and I see what might be a stamp. We're just taking the OP's word for the fact that it's 18k.

I see the logo is less detailed on yours. Also the inscribed "SEAMASTER" is very different.despit it is almost same age.

Hi ; I opened it;
IMG_3789.webp
but no reference at the back.
Looks like the movement 552 and the sería 25605371 means that the watch was made in 1967
