In Response To: Seamaster ID question ()

Try the omega vintage site attached. You need to register but can search by calibration number. yours matches a 1973 Seamaster.
You can also mail them an enquiry with more info for them to verify.
I think the value is £350+ depemding on quality
good luck

: Thanks to ER for reminding me of this forum
: (question originally posted to
: alt.horology): I have recently come across
: an Omega Seamaster automatic that I am
: seeking some information on. I am a newbie
: to watches.

: This is an older, plain seamaster. I am a
: little concerned as this watch has a
: snap-back case without the seamaster logo.
: It has day and date at 3:00 (usually I have
: only seen date), and automatic movement
: (marked 1020). Inside of case back has
: number 166.0209. Omega signature on stem,
: crystal (center, visible with loupe), and
: bracelet.

: Bracelet is SS, and seems cheap for Omega. It
: has Omega stampings, "No. 12", and
: 3-79 stamped into it.

: I'd like to know about when this watch was
: made, if it's an Omega worth owning, and
: what it's approximate value might be.
: Frankly I feel the watch seems cheaply made
: (snap back case, bracelet). Where (if
: anywhere) would the serial number be?

: I very much appreciate any help you can
: provide, including pointing me to references
: for this information.

: Thanks in advance,

: Ron
