The timepiece is original in all parts and gives a great vintage look, despite signs of ageing. The luminous material is darkened, the bezel is slightly faded.


The Seamaster 120 was introduced on the market in 1966. She is the Seamaster 300’s "little sister" – it was the success of the 300 that inspired Omega to develop a series of smaller, less expensive watches that were water-resistant to a depth of 60 m. The Seamaster 120 was Omega’s first diver’s wristwatch with a date display. While the Seamaster 300 was only available with an automatic movement, the little sister also came with a manual wind calibre and in versions with and without date. A lady’s reference in a 31 mm size was also available.
