The Watch
 
.
The Omega Seamaster is one of the best-known watches out there.  From its utilitarian presence on the wrists of personnel in the British Royal Navy to its current status as James Bond's go-to watch, you honestly can't go wrong with an Omega Seamaster.
.

The Omega Seamaster has been a legacy collection for Omega since it first launched in 1948 and continues to be a staple of the brand's modern catalogue. With a focus on robustness and reliability for everyday wear, vintage Seamasters offer a particularly great value. The example we have here is a Seamaster 120. This iteration first appeared in the Omega line-up in the mid-1960s as an amateur version of the legendary Seamaster 300 model, which debuted in the late 1950s.

.

The example we have here today is the Reference 166.027, as mentioned above, they came in many iterations, such as a non-date version (165.027). We are big fans of these, basically due to the non crown guard 36mm case. This particular example is all original including the original Cyclops crystal. It comes on the original 1125/560 Bracelet. One thing to mention though, the original bezel no longer rotates.
