Naturally this also will help protect the item in transit. The watch ref is 166036 and dates back to 1967. The back case has the Seamaster logo and understand its gone a little faint with being a 50+ year old watch. A new navy leather strap has been added which obviously compliments the navy blue outer track on the dial. We can change the strap for black or brown if you prefer. I do not recommend jumping into the water with any vintage watch. Although this bears the Seamaster name and was once upon a time classed as 30m waterproof this usually last 2 years then needs to be checked. This info is in the original handbook and still applies to modern Omega Seamasters although no one hardly ever reads that bit...basically keep away from high humidity rooms like shower rooms just to be sure.
