My first Omega, purchased about 25 years ago. Dynamic III on a more recent CK2998 strap. It's seen quite a lot in its time, it has been flown in a BAE Hawk and F3 Tornado (though not by me) and on another less pleasant occasion was found in the street by a policeman after a burglary. It just wasn't meant for us to part it seems...

Road works outside my door today.

Removing a tree stump so they can work on a small power transformer box to upgrade it's control gear.


Looks like another business started by David Wallace, Michael's boss.

You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while you're wearing THAT bad boy?

1967 OMEGA Seamaster 120 ...

case ref.# 135.027 (epsa) with caliber 601 manual wind / no date movement, on a ref. ST.-1098 stainless steel bracelet, along with it's 19MM ref.# 547 end links.

misc.:

Late 1950's and thru out the 1960's SCUBA diving and SNORKELING was gaining popularity amongst the affluent and upper middle class as a leisure sport. Omega's big, heavy divers watches designed for professional divers did not suit the new emerging demographic.

In 1966 Omega introduced the SEAMASTER 120 line and released to the public in 1967, it came in both manual and automatic models with and without a date complication.

As OMEGA stated at the time it is a watch suitable for "TOWN, COUNTRY and SEA" a sport / leisure / casual wrist watch. A smaller (@31MM) version was also produced for the ladies.

The Gentleman's SEAMASTER 120 came in 4 models:

Case ref.# - 135.027 ....... Manual Movement, No Date, Caliber 601
Case ref.# - 136.027 ........ Manual Movement, with Date, Caliber 613
Case ref.# - 165.027 ........ Auto Movement, No Date, Caliber 552
Case ref.# - 166.027 ........ Auto Movement, with Date, Cailber 565

Omega Movement Serial Number Range:

1967 - 25,000,000 - 25,999,999
1968 - 26,000,000 - 27,999,999
1969 - 28,000,000 - 31,999,999

BE CAREFUL - when purchasing a 1960's Seamaster 120 make sure the movement serial number matches the production run of this model ...
