Omega Seamaster Cosmic “Silver C" Auto Ref. 166.026 (circa 1960s)
Omega Seamaster Cosmic “Silver C" Auto Ref. 166.026 (circa 1960s)
WHY WE CURATED IT:
Seamaster Cosmics are perhaps the most overlooked and best value sub-models of Seamasters, especially when equipped with the legendary 5xx-series calibres (commonly shared with, or iterated upon for chronometer Constellations). Cosmics came about during the Space Race of the 1960s and embodied the future-looking design zeitgeist of the era. Here we have a very nice one in a crisp “C” cushion-style “turtle” case with superb wearability and a large warm silver sunburst dial so it presents more substantially than what the case dimensions suggest. Wonderfully versatile and looks fantastic with various straps, easily paired for either vintage or semi-modern vibes as your mood dictates. Serviced and warrantied for 6 months.
CONDITION:
8.5/10, with minimal signs of use. Original Omega-signed crystal has some microscopic spots and stress marks visible only under magnification and intense light from certain angles but normal viewing is spotless to the naked eye. Dial, hands and markers are clean with minimal signs of aging. Clear engravings remain on the caseback. New aftermarket strap with used Omega buckle. Movement in very good health, serviced and warrantied, accurate to ±25 secs/day averaged from 5 timegrapher positions.
