The Watch
Formerly known as the La Generale Watch Co., Louis Brandt founded it in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848. In 1903, they renamed their company Omega until 1982, when they officially changed their name to Omega SA. They are today part of the Swiss Swatch Group. The first Omega Seamasters was based loosely around waterproof watches made for the Royal Navy. What made the Seamaster appealing was using an O-Ring gasket which gave it temperature and depth resistance. In 1955, the Swiss Laboratory for Watch Research tested out 50 Seamaster cases with a 60-meter depth rating. Omega was so confident that they strapped one to the outside of a plane and flew it over the North pole in 1956.
Our 1967 Ladies Omega Seamaster 120 has a 31mm stainless steel case. The case gently curves towards the tapered lugs with a lug to lug length of 36.5mm and a case thickness of 9.5mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side is a signed crown. A unidirectional stainless steel bezel has a black dive insert with silver numerals. A domed crystal sits above a black dial. An outer minute track with applied baton indexes coated in Tritium marks the hours. Steel sword hands with a strip of Tritium down the center complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. An applied OMEGA logo at 12 o’clock and Seamaster 120 at 6 o’clock. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Hippocampus etched in the center. Inside is a manually wound Omega Cal. 630. The watch comes fitted on a black 16mm Tropic strap.
Personal Note
Whilst I have put ladies in the title I know multiple males who wear this reference and wear it with confidence and style, so as I always say, buy what you like first and foremost! But this truly is a beautifully preserved example in great condition, lovely dial and hands, and well worth every penny for a smaller-sized dive watch by a major brand!
