History Omega introduced the Seamaster Cosmic line in the late 1960s, embracing the forward-looking aesthetic of the era with distinctive tonneau and cushion-shaped cases. Many Cosmic models utilized a front-loading unibody case design, often denoted by the Tool 107 engraving on the caseback, which required removing the crystal to access the movement. This design choice allowed for sleek, uninterrupted case lines that defined the model family. Today, the Seamaster Cosmic is appreciated for its unique geometry and definitive late-century styling. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-OAS-0020
