Description

The Omega Seamaster Cosmic (model 135.016) is a highly regarded, timeless vintage watch favored by collectors. This example pairs an elegant crosshair dial with a warm gold-tone finish and a robust stainless steel monocoque case. With a modest 34 mm case diameter it wears comfortably and with refinement, making it suitable for both everyday use and formal occasions.

History

The Seamaster line was introduced in 1948 and quickly earned a reputation for reliability and water resistance. The Cosmic range represents a later generation within the Seamaster family and stood out for technical innovations, notably the monocoque (one-piece) case construction. That design made the watch more robust and produced a cleaner, seamless profile. Popular during the 1960s and 1970s, the Cosmic series balanced practical durability with elegant detailing—qualities that continue to make it desirable among collectors today.
