1968 Omega Seamaster Cosmic Date Auto Crosshair 166.023
Here we have a 1969 Omega Seamaster Cosmic Date Auto Crosshair 166.023; the Seamaster Cosmic was introduced in 1967, jumping on the hype for space travel and everything space-related. The continued relationship with NASA only strengthened Omega’s position as the preferred manufacturer. It generated new life in the Seamaster range. The production run was for less than a decade. The 33mm polished and brushed monocoque (coque in French means hull) C-shaped case design is made from a solid piece of stainless steel, with access to the movement by removing the crystal with a special tool. The gentle curve of the case leads to a lug-to-lug length of 36mm and a case thickness of 9.5mm; its flat back and angled sides make the watch comfortable to wear. On the right side is a signed crown. The case holds the domed Omega-signed crystal above a silver crosshair dial with a vertical brushed textured surface. An outer minute chapter ring with tritium pips surround applied steel indexes finished with chamfered edges and black infill that catch the light as you rotate your wrist. At 3 o’clock, a date-framed window with cyclops magnification on the crystal. Slim sword hands with Tritium infill are complemented by a tapered sweeping centre seconds hand. At noon, the Omega “Automatic”; at 6 o’clock “Seamaster” “Cosmic” printed in black. On the reverse, the Hippocampus is etched onto the surface. Inside an Automatic Omega Cal. 565, 24 jewels, 19,800 beats per hour, the quickset date is done by repeatedly pulling the crown into the final position. The watch comes paired with its original flat link 'beads of rice' Omega bracelet secured by a signed folding clasp and will fit up to a 7-inch wrist.
