Vintage 1968 Omega Seamaster Chronometer Serviced Automatic Watch Ref 168.024

We are pleased to present this exceptional, freshly serviced 1968 Omega Seamaster Chronometer, crafted in stainless steel. Reference 168.024, being the chronometer certified counterpart to the reference 166.010, this piece is offered complete with its original Beads of Rice bracelet. Preserved in honest, unpolished condition, it retains all the character and authenticity that define a truly desirable vintage watch.
 
It is powered by the automatic Caliber 565 movement, which can be manually wound and features a quick-set date function, activated by fully pulling out the crown and then pushing it back in repeatedly, a rather unique feature.
