Omega Seamaster 166.010 from 1968 ORIGINAL SMALL CROWN

Omega Seamaster 166.010 | Cal. 565 | SR26391589 | 1960s

A classic example of Omega’s understated elegance, this Seamaster 166.010 brings together everything we love about mid-century Swiss watchmaking: clean design, bulletproof movement, and timeless proportions.

Powered by the venerable Omega Caliber 565 — regarded as one of Omega’s most reliable automatic date movements — this piece has just come back from a full professional service and runs beautifully. It comes with a 2-year mechanical warranty for your peace of mind.

The silver sunburst dial has aged gracefully, developing a subtle speckled patina that plays with the light in a way only vintage watches can. Applied hour markers and the Omega signature remain crisp, while the original small crown speaks to the unmolested condition of the piece.

Case lines are strong and the lugs retain good definition. Fitted on a vintage Omega Beads of Rice bracelet, this watch wears comfortably and retains its classic aesthetic. The bracelet is full-length and correct for the reference.
