Omega Seamaster 168024 Chronometer on Beads of rice

Omega Seamaster Ref. 168.024
SKU: 1813

A sharp and quietly charismatic Omega Seamaster, showing exactly why these late 60s / early 70s Seamasters have become such strong daily vintage options. The silver sunburst dial has developed a soft, even patina, giving it warmth without losing its clean, functional look. The applied indices and slim hands keep things elegant, while the framed date window adds just enough practicality.

What stands out here is the balance—sporty enough to wear every day, yet refined enough to pass as a dress piece. The classic tonneau-style case wears comfortably on the wrist, and paired with the beads-of-rice bracelet, it delivers that unmistakable vintage Omega feel.

The dial carries the “Seamaster” script and chronometer text, tying it to Omega’s long-standing reputation for precision and durability. Honest wear throughout, but nothing that detracts—just a watch that has lived and aged well.

Technical background
The reference 168.024 belongs to a generation of Seamasters powered by Omega’s calibre 56x family, often seen with chronometer-rated movements like the cal. 564. These movements were among Omega’s most refined automatic calibres of the era, featuring quickset date functionality and robust construction, making them a favorite among watchmakers and collectors alike.
