Presented here is a beautiful 1950s Omega Seamaster reference 2766, featuring its highly desirable original black gilt dial and classic beefy-lug case design. Increasingly difficult to find in such honest, original condition, this is a superb example of one of Omega’s most elegant early automatic Seamasters.

The striking black gilt dial has aged beautifully, retaining its rich gloss finish and crisp gilt printing, offering the warmth and character that only an untouched vintage dial can provide. Measuring 34.5mm in diameter, the watch sits in the perfect sweet spot for everyday wear—large enough to feel contemporary while preserving all the charm of a true vintage timepiece.

The stainless steel case remains wonderfully preserved, retaining its sharp bevels and well-defined lugs. It is fitted with its original clover-shaped Omega crown and still wears its original signed Omega acrylic crystal, complete with the embossed Omega logo at its centre—details that collectors always appreciate.

Turning the watch over reveals a beautifully preserved snap-back case with deep, crisp Seamaster hippocampus and waterproof engravings, clear evidence of the case’s excellent condition and minimal polishing over the decades.

Powering the watch is the renowned Omega calibre 344 bumper automatic movement, one of the brand’s finest early self-winding calibres. Smooth, reliable and full of vintage charm, it perfectly complements this exceptional Seamaster.

Original black-dial Seamasters from this period are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly examples retaining so many original components and presenting in such outstanding condition. This is a truly captivating vintage Omega and a wonderful addition to any discerning collection.
