My Seamaster Cosmic - Falling in Love Again
I hate to say it but me and the Cosmic haven’t been getting along that well lately. I can trace it back to the time I fitted an original Omega Black leather watch strap, nice but…..well boring.
So today in dropped a very cheap strap with a little more of a racey feel to it, on the Cosmic it went and I haven’t had it off since [boom boom!].
Just can’t get Je t’aime out my mind…..

Lots of pictures of the loved one…….

Wow. I have one very similar to that, my father’s from 1969. Solid back?

Yes, solid back.
I don’t know what it is about those seamaster cosmic’s but I just love the style. Its a watch that looks much better on the wrist than off.
Your father had great taste BTW.

Funny, I just ran across this blog yesterday, especially weird since I just received my latest Omega — a Seamaster Cosmic, EXACTLY like yours (135.017, ebay #5012533446). I put a Hirsch Duke dark brown (almost black-but with a rich color and texture) and it rocks. It’s a very sharp, understated watch. I might try to find a decent bracelet for it — I think it might look good on one. What do you think?

Great looking watch azbigfella.

You know I’ve never even thought of dropping a nice bracelet on one. As a rule I tend to be a leather strap guy mainly because I work with a computer on a glass desk all day, the clang clang of the bracelets puts the other guys off!

HI , I GOT MY FATHER OMEGA SEAMASTER COSMIC.WATERPROFF.
166022-TOOL1050
WHERE CAN I GET AN IDEA OF YEAR OF PRODUCTION, AND VALUE? IT IS A BEAUTIFUL GOLD PLATTED WATCH WITH A BROWN LEATHER BEKT, AND I THINK IT SUITS A WOMAN MORE THAN A MAN NOW DAYS …

For a firmer production year you really need the movement serial number, that type of watch though is hard to get at, you have to go through the front to get at the movement!
Mid-sixties is near enough anyhow.
Value is hard to say, they are not that sought after, I would estimate $300-500.

Howdy, I just inherited my fathers seamaster cosmic. I am trying to locate
a stainless steel case as the gold plated one is severely pitted on the back,
the crystal is also funky and I would like to find a dial to match the stainless.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Tom

Mine’s a stainless steel Seamaster Cosmic day date with a box-snap bracelet. Like yours it’s the backless monocase model with ‘TOOL 107′ inscribed on the back. I just love it, the shape, the looks, the practicality, the subtlelty of the bracelet…everything. It’s circa 1971 vintage, it’s cost when new was around £80 to £100 and it’s got the 752 calibre movement. I simply love it and there’s nothing to match it!

Hello, Got a gold plated one just like yours with a silver dial. Used to have one with a black dial, but I had to sell it on eBay to fund my latest love, the full size PO. The cosmic is a nice watch, I have mine on a black hirsch strap, similar to the one pictured. Anyone here like the cosmic 2000s?

I have a Seamaster Cosmic in steel casing
(136017SP - TOOL 107)
I got it as a present in the spring of 1970 -
Shure was a proud boy wearing an astronauts watch at school!

I just got my father’s early-60es 18k gold seamaster cosmic for christmas. he wore it on his wedding, wich was in 63. I put a hirsch heavy calf darkbrown leather strap with white seam and a golden clasp on it, and it is absolutely stunning.
all the entries above reflect my opinion on this timeless piece of art.

I’m impressed. I’m currently awaiting delivery of a Seamaster Cosmic, it’s a manual wind model. Does anybody know how to manage such a watch? Do I wind it up each morning turning the crown a set number of times?
I’ve no idea, can anybody help?
April 27th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Keith, just wind it until it stops–don’t force it! Do it once a day and you’ll be fine. Do it gently and you won’t have any problems. Good luck–

I am awaiting the arrival of my Seamaster Cosmic. I’ve always wanted an Omega Seamaster and I finally took the plunge and bought the perfect one. So I hope. I got it on ebay. I want to be convinced that it is genuine. As soon as I saw the pictures I fell in love with it. Any ideas?
Case # 136.016
Cal. # 601
I think the dial has been refinished because it is blue. But I am okay with that (it adds to it’s appeal). I just want to know if it’s authentic. Can anyone help me?
p.s., even if it’s not genuine, I still think the Omega Seamaster Cosmic’s are the best looking watches out there.
Thanks

I have an Omega Seamaster Cosmic with date. it is gold with an expandab,e bracelet which I believe was added later. 166026-tool 107.
Someone told me they are rare due to the date.
Is this true? Would it have been made in the 60’s
