Omega Seamaster reference 166.003 in stainless steel

1960 | Stainless steel | Automatic | 34.5mm

Sale price€1.600,00

The Seamaster has been part of Omega's DNA since 1948 — originally conceived as a robust yet elegant watch for active individuals who wanted something that could handle town, sea, and country without missing a beat. By the early 1960s, the ref. 166.003 had become one of the line's definitive expressions: a 34.5mm stainless steel case, clean lines, and an in-house movement that simply works.

Inside beats calibre 565, Omega's reliable 24-jewel automatic with date function — a practical detail that speaks to the era's focus on everyday usability. The silvered sunburst dial with applied baton indices reads beautifully in any light, and the screw-down caseback bears the embossed Seamaster seahorse — a small but satisfying detail to find on a watch of this age.

This example presents in very good condition, with a case that has never been polished — retaining its original surfaces and proportions as Omega intended. Fitted on a leather strap with its original Omega buckle.

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.
