·I’m meant to be having a quiet year but I’ve ended up buying four 60’s Omegas over the last few months. This is the latest, a Seamaster 120 auto, ref 166.027. I’ve been keeping an ear to the ground for another of these as the no crown guard 37mm case and matte black dial are a winning combination for me.
This is clearly an example that’s seen some use (or been bashed about at the back of a drawer) but with the exception of the service crown, everything seems correct. The case is marked but sharp, the movement is in good nick but crying out for a service, the bezel has lost its pip and barely moves but it’s aged to a lovely dark grey and critically, under that scratches Omega stamped crystal the dial appears to be flawless with beautiful lume.
It also came with a stretched 1035 bracelet with mis-matched ends. I’m unsure whether to get this restored as I don’t believe it was originally used on these 120’s, with the 1067 being the flat link option. Then again, if added at the point of sale I guess you never say never.
Anyway, a few pictures before it goes for a spruce up.
