Omega Seamaster reference 166.003 in stailess steel

1960 | Stainless steel | Automatic | 34.0mm

Sale price€1.450,00

The Seamaster line dates back to 1948, launched to mark Omega's centenary and built around the waterproof case designs the brand had developed for the British military at the end of the war. Reference 166.003 belongs to the mid 1960s generation of the model, when Omega settled on a clean, dressier take on the Seamaster identity, one that still holds up remarkably well today.

This example carries its original silver dial, with applied baton indices and a date window, powered by the automatic caliber 562, a workhorse movement Omega used across much of its output in this period. The 34mm steel case remains unpolished, its lugs and bezel edges still sharp and well defined rather than softened by past refinishing, a detail collectors look for specifically on watches of this age.

The overall presentation is coherent and honest, a piece that has clearly been left alone rather than over restored. For anyone drawn to Omega's quieter, more understated side of the 1960s, this is a genuinely appealing example to live with.

Omega

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has grown to become one of the most renowned and respected names in the world of horology. In 1894, Omega revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the 19-ligne "Omega" caliber, known for its groundbreaking precision and ease of repair. This innovation marked a turning point for the company, which was soon renamed "Omega" in recognition of the caliber's success.

Omega's reputation for accuracy was further solidified when it became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, a role it still holds today. The brand’s dedication to precision was also demonstrated in 1969, when the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Over the decades, Omega has introduced iconic collections such as the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Constellation, blending cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Omega watches are not only known for their technical excellence but also for their association with explorers, athletes, and adventurers who push the limits of human achievement.
