Omega Seamaster Day‑Date 166.032 – Gold‑Plated – 35mm – Full Set – 1969
This Omega Seamaster reference 166.032 is far more than just a late‑1960s day‑date model. Dating to 1969 by its original paperwork, it features a beautifully characterful dial with a warm champagne sunburst appearance that elevates it well beyond the standard Seamaster offerings of the era.
Housed in a 35mm gold‑plated case and powered by Omega’s robust Calibre 752 automatic movement, this is a classic, wearable vintage Omega with excellent presentation and remarkable original completeness.

Our View
The Seamaster 166.032 is an underrated vintage reference, and examples with this level of originality and completeness are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The dial alone makes this watch stand out, with its warm champagne tone giving it a far richer presence than the standard silver variants. Add to that the original box, papers and even the original purchase receipt — plus a 12‑month mechanical warranty — and this becomes a genuinely special offering at a sensible entry point into well‑preserved vintage Omega ownership.
