Presented for sale is an exceptional and historically significant vintage time-piece: an Omega Seamaster 166.111 from circa 1969. This watch is a stunning example of late-1960s Omega design, featuring a bold, geometric gold-plated cushion case. What sets this particular piece apart from virtually all other vintage examples is its remarkable state of preservation, providing concrete evidence of an exceptionally low-wear history. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history that is almost exactly as it left the factory over half a century ago.


KEY FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS:
* Reference: Seamaster 166.111
* Production Date: Estimated circa 1969, authoritatively verified through internal movement serial table checks.
* Case: Cushion-shaped gold-plated case with sharp edges and minimal wear, preserving the original geometric aesthetic of the era.
* Caseback: Stainless steel screw-in caseback. Crucially, the original purple protective factory lacquer coating (often called 'sealing wax' or 'protection film') is remarkably intact and clearly visible, indicating this watch was either unworn or worn only very rarely.
* Dial: The original champagne dial is in flawless condition, featuring applied gold-colored hour indices with black enamel inserts and a matching faceted handset.
* Date Function: A rare French-language day wheel (showing "SAM" for Samedi/Saturday) and date function at 3 o'clock, with a quickset date mechanism.
* Movement: The renowned and reliable Caliber 752 Automatic movement, known for its precision and advanced day-date complications for the era.
* Service History: Fully and expertly serviced on 18-05-2026, ensuring optimal performance for years to come.
* Crystal: A clean, period-correct mineral crystal is fitted.
* Crown: Correct and original Omega-signed crown.
* Strap: A high-quality, new, hand-stitched navy blue suede strap with contrasting orange and grey/blue stitches, which perfectly complements the gold tones and gives the watch a sporty, contemporary feel.


ANALYSIS OF PRESERVATION:
The preservation of the caseback lacquer is a game-changer for serious collectors. To find a 55-year-old watch with its factory protection largely present is an exceptionally rare occurrence. It transforms this from a simple vintage watch into a museum-quality preservation piece, signifying that its internal components are likely in equally pristine condition.

SUMMARY:
For the discerning collector, this Omega Seamaster 166.111 offers the best of both worlds: a highly collectible vintage model and the practical assurance of a recent full service. The French day wheel and the incredible caseback preservation make it a truly unique addition to any high-end collection.
