Omega Seamaster reference 168.024 Chronometer with bracelet

1970 | Stainless steel | Automatic | 34.0mm

Sale price€0,00

This Seamaster Chronometer occupies an interesting position in the Omega catalogue — a tool watch by lineage, a dress watch by temperament. Reference 168.024 is the chronometer-certified variant of the 166.010, distinguished by the four-line dial text that proudly states its COSC credentials: a detail that mattered enormously at a time when chronometer certification was a genuine mark of distinction, not a marketing footnote.

The silver dial is clean and purposeful — applied baton indices, no unnecessary ornamentation, the kind of restraint that ages exceptionally well. The case follows the classic Seamaster proportion of the period, a round steel form that sits comfortably between sporty and refined.

This example presents in excellent condition, retaining its integrated bracelet — a period-correct detail that transforms the wearing experience and is all too often missing on survivors of this era. The overall presentation is that of a watch that has been looked after carefully while being enjoyed.

A serious Omega for the collector who values substance over spectacle.

Omega

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has grown to become one of the most renowned and respected names in the world of horology. In 1894, Omega revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the 19-ligne "Omega" caliber, known for its groundbreaking precision and ease of repair. This innovation marked a turning point for the company, which was soon renamed "Omega" in recognition of the caliber's success.

Omega's reputation for accuracy was further solidified when it became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, a role it still holds today. The brand’s dedication to precision was also demonstrated in 1969, when the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Over the decades, Omega has introduced iconic collections such as the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Constellation, blending cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Omega watches are not only known for their technical excellence but also for their association with explorers, athletes, and adventurers who push the limits of human achievement.
