Omega Seamaster Big Crown Automatic Steel Diving Watch On Tropic, 1970s

OMEGA's iconic 1970s Seamaster automatic diver's watch ref. 166.062 in a so-called "Big Crown" version, particularly appreciated for its strong aesthetic presence and authentically utilitarian spirit.

The steel case, with the taut, powerful lines characteristic of the 1970s, features particularly balanced proportions with a diameter of 37.2 mm excluding the crown, still offering a modern, sporty presence on the wrist today. This version's signature wide screw-down crown reinforces its identity as a true diver's watch originally designed for functional use.

The midnight-blue dial, in pristine condition, is one of this Seamaster's great attractions. Its deep, luminous color elegantly highlights the metallic applied hour markers and luminescent hands. The silver and bluish shades of the minute track surround add depth and sophistication. The date aperture with cyclops magnifier fully participates in the technical vintage aesthetics of this generation of Seamaster.

The graduated black rotating bezel operates with remarkable fluidity, a quality particularly appreciable on this type of vintage diver's watch. The whole retains a beautiful aesthetic and mechanical coherence.

This watch is equipped with an automatic movement signed OMEGA and mounted on a black rubber Tropic-type bracelet, perfectly suited to the original spirit of the model. The steel screw-down caseback is adorned with the famous Seamaster seahorse, the historic emblem of the collection.

The overall condition is particularly appealing, with the watch presenting a perfect state of freshness, both in terms of the dial and the case.

As with any vintage diver's watch, although it has retained all its original robustness and functional spirit, water-resistance cannot be absolutely guaranteed in modern aquatic use without prior inspection by a specialist watchmaker.
