Seamaster Cosmic Club – Pics, Info & Buyer’s Guide

Ooh nice! Cal 565? It’s got the original crystal too. Enjoy, it’s a great looking watch!

Hi, Cosmic Club! New here but eager homework-doer, with thanks to the OF and C Club community for all the helpful info so far.

I've been seriously considering a Cosmic 136.017 in the US$800 range (will be serviced right before shipment). It's a reputable seller (Kaba from IG/Reddit; very responsive so far), and most of the things about the watch look good to my admittedly untrained eyes: facets, case brushing, crown, crystal in good shape with the Omega logo, etc. He even provided movement pictures whose serial number checks out.

One thing I’m not sure about is the dial, though: Unlike other 136.017s I’ve seen, the dial seems to have vertical brushing rather than sunburst/radial, and the “Swiss Made” text at the bottom doesn’t have the “T” for tritium.

Could any Cosmic vets spare a moment to share some opinions in general and/or about whether this might be a redial? Would be much appreciated 😀

As a novice collector, here is my first Cosmic.

My freshly purchase 166.023

My grandfathers cosmic from what I remember was a retirement gift and now handed down to me. Recently handed in for service with a broken foot which rotated the dial and a scratch on the crystal. Now feels brand new and given new life. The manual winding sounds and feels much more crisp. REF 166026-TOOL-107. Liking the black dials with cross hairs and would love owning one for the contrast and a beautiful set with my goldie.

Hi and welcome to OF.
A very beautiful gift, you got handed down.
Enjoy wearing your Cosmic.

I love all the examples here!
Beautiful Cosmics!
Here is mine. I'm a sucker for roman numerals.

Doing some cleanup and digging through my catalogues, maybe it helps :

Very interesting to see those old catalogues, thank you for sharing.
Mine is the 166.036 on page 13 🥰.

Hi there, just discovered this amazing topic ! Thanks @Nupero for it. By any chance, do you know which box comes with a 166036 model ?

Thanks @Dunjour ! This would be my best guess:

Thank you so much 😀
