Omega Seamaster Ref. 166.010 BOR bracelet

The Seamaster collection is one of Omega's longest-running and most influential families, introduced in 1948 to celebrate the brand's centenary. Originally conceived as an elegant yet water-resistant everyday watch, the Seamaster quickly evolved into a complete collection that would eventually include dress watches, professional diving instruments, and some of the most technically accomplished references in Swiss watchmaking.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the Seamaster established its identity through robust engineering and refined aesthetics. Unlike later professional dive models, these early references were designed as versatile daily companions, combining waterproof construction with elegant case proportions and highly reliable automatic manufacture movements. It is this balance between functionality and timeless design that has made vintage Seamasters increasingly desirable among collectors.

Reference 166.010 belongs to the golden age of the collection. Produced in 1969, it represents the final evolution of the classic dress-oriented Seamaster before the bold styling of the 1970s began to reshape the line. Its clean architecture, practical date display and refined steel case perfectly embody Omega's philosophy of creating watches capable of accompanying their owners in virtually every aspect of daily life.

Powering the watch is the outstanding calibre 564, Omega's flagship self-winding chronometer-grade automatic movement of the period, featuring the desirable quick-set date mechanism and celebrated for its remarkable reliability and longevity.

Completing the watch is its original Omega "Beads of Rice" steel bracelet, one of the manufacture's most iconic bracelet designs. Its distinctive multi-link construction offers exceptional comfort on the wrist while perfectly complementing the elegant character of the case, making it one of the most appreciated original accessories among vintage Omega collectors.
