History
The Omega Seamaster line has long been celebrated for its robust construction and elegant design. By the early 1970s, Omega had embraced the C-shape case, a design that offered a more substantial and integrated look on the wrist. The Caliber 565 is highly regarded by collectors for its durability and the convenient addition of a quickset date mechanism, representing a high point in Omega's mid-century automatic movement production.
