This “Rare All Original Seamaster Automatic Oversize from 1965” found a buyer.

It was listed by Fowey River Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

The watch is the Omega Seamaster Oversize from 1965 with calibre 562 fully automatic 24 jewel movement widely considered to be one of the most reliable Omega movements ever made.

The model reference number is the rare 166.011 Seamaster Oversize made for the Japanese market, this model is rarely seen in the UK.

The watch and its bracelet are completely original and untouched the only work we have carried out is to service the movement, ultrasonically clean the case and bracelet and replace the back seal.

The dial is original and untouched it has had no restoration, it has a very faint even surface patina that you expect to see on a 60 year old watch.

Even the armoured glass is original and in perfect condition.

This is a watch that was rarely worn.

Remarkably it comes with its original full length Omega beads of rice bracelet that will fit a wrist upto 20cm or 8 inches or we can fit a leather strap of your choice.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

The watch case measures 36mm in diameter not including the crown which makes this an oversize model.

This was the largest Seamaster made in the early 1960s and the movement serial number indicates that it was made in 1965.

The watch has been fully serviced and comes with a one year warranty. It is running and keeping time to within original Omega specification.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

Introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster was originally built for marine use, drawing on technology developed for the British military during the Second World War. Over subsequent decades, it evolved from a rugged water-resistant sports watch into an iconic dress and everyday timepiece.

These timepieces typically feature stainless steel or gold-capped cases, acrylic crystals, and mechanical automatic movements comprising dozens of brass and steel components. Dials are often made of brass with applied metal hour markers and printed text.

Authenticity is verified by checking hallmark engravings inside the case back, matching movement serial numbers to official production records, and examining the dial typography and logo for correct proportions and crisp execution.

A classic mid-century dress watch adds understated elegance to tailoring or smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point without overpowering an ensemble.

Mechanical watches require regular professional servicing every three to five years to clean and lubricate the movement. Owners should avoid exposure to magnetic fields, moisture, and extreme impacts to maintain accuracy and longevity.
