Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000, Ref. 166.130, Cal. 1012, Men’s Watch
A cream dial and broad tonneau case define this 1972 Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000, reference 166.130. The steel head measures 39 mm across and 45 mm from lug to lug, with original tritium-filled baton hands and a signed crown. Automatic caliber 1012 adds a quick-set date and hacking seconds.
Cream dial and original tritium hands
The smooth cream-beige dial has a restrained minute scale and applied rectangular steel hour markers, each accompanied by a luminous plot. An applied Omega logo sits at 12, while the Cosmic 2000 script identifies the model. The light surface and steel furniture keep the display visually quiet within the larger case.
The original polished baton hour and minute hands retain tritium infill and remain in excellent condition. A slender central seconds hand moves smoothly around the dial. The handset's narrow profile leaves the markers and minute scale clearly visible.
Front-loading steel case
The tonneau steel case combines a brushed top with polished chamfers. Its monocoque construction is front loading, making the case architecture a defining feature of this Cosmic 2000. The flat crystal is clear and free from distortion.
At 39 mm wide and 45 mm overall, the head has a substantial outline. The original Omega-signed crown sits at 3 and operates smoothly for time and date adjustment. A light brown aftermarket leather strap softens the transition from the broad steel head to the wrist.
Automatic caliber 1012 and the Cosmic 2000 format
This automatic watch uses Swiss Omega caliber 1012, with 23 jewels and a nominal frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its rotor winds in both directions. The quick-set date simplifies calendar adjustment, while hacking seconds allows the seconds hand to be stopped during time setting.
The Cosmic 2000 series reflects the combination of dress and sporting case design in Omega watches from the 1970s. Here, the broad steel outline and monocoque construction accompany a restrained dial. It remains a dress watch with distinctive case engineering.
This used example is in excellent condition, retaining its original dial, hands, crown and case. The leather strap is an aftermarket replacement. The watch has been fully serviced by a professional watchmaker, is fully operational and comes with a 12-month warranty. Worldwide shipping is available.
