A classical and well balanced Omega Seamaster Automatic from 1970 presented on its original “beads of rice” stainless steel bracelet, featuring a rare and visually striking frost sparkle dial. This example stands out with its unusual rounded-side case design that creates a narrow, flat bezel plane around the crystal, giving the watch an elegant wrist presence.

The watch is in excellent vintage condition. The stainless steel case has been professionally refreshed while preserving the original geometry and the characteristic rounded flanks. The dial is particularly impressive, displaying a lively frost texture that shifts from bright silver to deep grey depending on lighting conditions. The movement is in near-mint condition, fully serviced and running almost like new.

Movement & Technical Notes

Powered by the celebrated Omega calibre 565, this Seamaster benefits from one of Omega’s most respected automatic movements of the late 1960s–early 1970s. The calibre is known for its durability, smooth winding rotor, and precise timekeeping.

The quick-set date operated through the crown in the third position adds everyday convenience and makes this watch especially practical for daily wear.
