Omega Seamaster Chronometer 168.024, original bracelet, Cal. 564 automatic, serviced, 1970.

This is the Ref. 168.024, a high-grade Seamaster model with chronometer specifications.

Unlike the "Constellation C-line" chronometer released around the same time, which featured an oval-shaped case, this model boasts a fluid, graceful case design around the lugs and sides.
It maintains a modern aesthetic even half a century later.　

The case back features a screw-back design, adorned with the Seamaster Seahorse logo and Ω symbol.
The crown is engraved with the "Ω" mark.
 

It is powered by the Caliber 564 movement, a celebrated movement that is chronometer-certified.
At the time, this was reserved exclusively for high-end models such as the Constellation.

The movement is engraved with "ADJUSTED FIVE (5) POSITIONS AND TEMPERATURE," indicating that it has been adjusted for five positions and temperature variations.
The entire movement is finished with red gold plating, exuding the elegance of a high-end timepiece.
 

The dial features a radial finish.
There is age-related discoloration (aging) across the dial, giving it a warm, champagne-gold hue.

It features applied baton indices and "dauphine hands," which are shaped like the tips of a fountain pen, creating an elegant and sophisticated design.
 

At the 12 o'clock position on the dial, it bears the
inscription 'CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED,' proof of its chronometer certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (C.O.S.C.).

The bracelet is a rare, genuine Omega "beads of rice" bracelet (Ref. 1036).
It retains an uncommon length for a vintage piece, offering both value and practicality.

Recommended for those seeking an elegant vintage Omega.
