The Ref. 168.1501, however, represents a very different interpretation of the name: a Seamaster that packs 120-meter water resistance, a chronometer-grade movement, and genuine gold into a highly restrained case measuring approximately 36.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**IMPORTANT NOTE: As this item ships from within the European Union, you will not be liable for customs duties within the EU.**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model appears in Omega’s 1993 International Collection records. A steel case, a champagne-toned dial, and a yellow gold bezel that fully encircles the dial define the watch's character at first glance. The bezel here is not merely gold-colored or gold-plated; period and auction records for this reference specify it as 18-karat (750) yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design choice transforms the watch's appearance more than one might expect. Since the gold is not limited to minor details, the bezel forms a genuine frame around the dial. Gold-toned indices and hands sit within this frame against the matching dial, while the date window at the 3 o'clock position is kept as understated as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approximately 36.5 mm case features Omega’s signature lyre-style lugs. A sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and a case back embossed with the Hippocampus emblem demonstrate that the Seamaster identity remains intact beneath the elegant exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe automatic version of the Ref. 168.1501 is powered by the Omega Calibre 1109. Developed based on the ETA 2892-A2 architecture, this 21-jewel movement operates to chronometer standards while maintaining the low profile suited to the slim automatic Omega models of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the watch's individual movement serial number, its exact year of production is 1993, marking its specific place within the Omega collection's timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch comes with an Omega-branded leather strap and buckle; a second leather strap and a red Omega box are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal Thoughts\u003cbr\u003eThe most interesting aspect of this Seamaster is not its use of 18k gold. Its true achievement lies in integrating genuine gold without turning it into a mere display of luxury as a natural element of a sports watch that boasts 120-meter water resistance, a chronometer-grade movement, and a compact 36.5mm diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product shown was manufactured in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROFESSIONALLY FULLY SERVICED.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement was completely disassembled; every component was cleaned, lubricated, and precision-adjusted to ensure flawless operation.
