A Stylish Omega 161.5002 in 9k Gold with a Champagne Coloured Textured Dial and Applied Gilt Furniture with Onyx Inserts, c.1962

The Omega 161.5002, a remarkable timepiece, is celebrated for its blend of elegance and precision. Launched in the mid-20th century, this model emerged during a period when Omega was cementing its reputation for producing reliable watches. Part of the Seamaster line, the 161.5002 upheld Omega's commitment to robust craftsmanship and sophisticated design, catering to both professional divers and watch enthusiasts. 

What's on Offer

We are delighted to offer this c.1962 9k gold Omega 161.5002 for sale in vintage condition. Featuring a slim case crafted from yellow 9k gold, the case and lugs are in nice shape with baring signs of previous wear but nothing we wouldn't expect to see on a watch of this age. The dial is also in good shape boasting a beautiful Champagne colour and a subtle texture. The furniture is minimal with simple applied hour indexes in gilt with onyx inserts and corresponding slim pencil hands. There is some slight pitting on the hands and there is some crazing on the acrylic crystal. 

This is an elegant timepiece which looks stylish on the wrist and is perfectly appropriate for everyday wear as well as more formal occasions - it can easily be worn under a dress cuff. 

NB: This watch is offered for sale as seen, as its service history is unknown, and as we are selling it on behalf of a watch collector's family who has asked us to help sell an entire collection. As there are quite a few watches to dispose of, the clients do not wish to spend unnecessary money on servicing each watch before it's sold, so we have priced the watches to reflect being sold unserviced and without a warranty, but it can be arranged with our watchmaker at an additional cost if you wish. Once you have made the purchase, please add a note when placing it in your basket, and we will contact you to discuss this. Once serviced, the watch will be given a 12-month warranty.
