Period

circa 1970

This Omega Seamaster "Jumbo" gentleman's wristwatch (reference 166.087) dates to approximately 1970 and features a characteristic large stainless steel tonneau case with a brushed top and polished flanks.

The watch is powered by an automatic calibre 1001 movement, part of the 1000 series introduced by Omega in 1969, which includes a central rotor, quick-set date, and hacking seconds. The blue, vertically brushed dial is adorned with applied silver-coloured baton indices with luminous inlays, a silver-coloured minute track ring, and a framed date window at the 3 o'clock position. It features distinctive baton hands with black and silver detailing and luminous inlays, paired with a light blue centre seconds hand.

The screw-down case back is embossed with the iconic seahorse medallion. The watch is paired with a non-original blue Morellato leather strap with a tang buckle. The piece is presented with an additional watch glass and crown in its red Omega box.
