MODEL: 57 Vintage Omega Seamaster Ref. 166002 / Cal. 565 Vintage 1967

During World War II, Omega gained valuable industrial experience while supplying the British Ministry of War with military watches made to rigorous specifications. This new generation of military watches enabled Omega to launch the Seamaster collection in the aftermath of the war, making the 1948 model one of the most innovative watches of all time. But beside the story behind the original Seamaster collection, there are two strange facts. First is the fact that the Seamaster logo is on the Speedmaster’s caseback. And second, the fascinating origins of the famous seahorse logo itself. Introduced in 1956, the seahorse logo was engraved on the caseback of the Seamaster and the Railmaster, which was primarily a water-resistant watch with specific protection against magnetic exposure. So, with the 1957 launch of the trilogy collection in (consisting of the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Railmaster), Omega issued a line of professional watches engraved with the new mythical seahorse logo.

Not everyone has the opportunity to wear a beautiful 50 years old watch from a renowned brand.
