1966 Omega Ladies Seamaster 120 Automatic (Ref. 566.00007)

The Speedmaster might be the watch that made Omega a household name (and took it to the moon), but the Seamaster has been around quite a bit longer and has its own incredible legacy worth talking about. 

First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for decades. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.

In 1966, the brand unveiled the Seamaster 120 as a little sibling to the heavily dive-centric Seamaster 300, offering a more svelt, wearable watch that was still plenty robust enough to dive with.

This ref. 566.00007 is a very early example of the women's version of the 120, a 31mm piece that packs a whole lot of purpose into a small package. It's in great condition, despite being nearly 60 years old, with some signs of honest use just waiting to accompany someone for the next 60 years of wear.
