Omega Seamaster 60 Big Crown Burgundy 166.062
Omega Seamaster 60 Big Crown Burgundy 166.062
How cool is this vintage Seamaster 60 Big Crown? Introduced in the late 60's as a transitional reference, it was available in three different color variations: black, dark blue, and burgundy, which is the one we have here today.
It utilises a steel case measuring in at 36.5mm, with 6mm 'Big Crown' which is actually used to change the date by pumping it out, very cool. Within this case lies a gorgeous deep burgundy lacquer dial with a silver chequered racing style motif around it's outer track, applied markers and beautifully integrated date window at 3. Surrounding it is a bakelite bi-directional bezel, and it's powered by the Omega Cal 565 automatic.
This particular example is also retrofitted with an Omega 6901 steel bracelet which looks amazing on it, and works to also visually increase the size compared with a strap. It will fit up to roughly a 7.2in wrist.
This particular example presents in excellent vintage condition. The lacquer dial does not show any spidering, with some tritium flecks present on its surface. Lume plots are missing on markers 6 and 7. Hands are tritium.
Bakelite bezel is in lovely condition. Scratches and scuffs are present, but no cracking that we can see.
Case back is stamped C.B, indicating the casemaker was La Centrale Boîtes. Case itself is in lovely condition, with strong lines, and a thick case. Shows marks commensurate with its age.
Was apparently overhauled by the previous dealer last year, and the movement condition seems to back that up. Winds smoothly, date changes as it should, and keeping time at around -10 secs per day at mid-200's amplitude. Plexi was changed during this service, and shows some small scuffing and scratches. Correct Omega logo in centre.
Comes with Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Watch Vault travel case.
Lovely piece of Omega's history, with a gorgeous lacquer dial and contemporary sizing that’s freshly serviced and ready to go another 50 years.
