The Omega Seamaster 166.010 belongs to the quieter side of the family: a steel automatic with a date, not a dive watch with a rotating bezel. Its attraction is in the proportions—the broad lugs give an otherwise restrained watch enough presence to feel substantial without overwhelming the wrist.

The movement is a useful way to choose between examples. Earlier watches use the caliber 562; later ones can carry the caliber 565, whose crown-operated quick-set date makes adjustment considerably easier. Either offers the pleasure of Omega’s copper-colored automatic movements, but the date-setting difference matters if you rotate watches frequently. Look closely at the lug contours: polishing can soften the transitions that give this case its character. Dial refinishing is another concern, particularly when the Seamaster script or minute track looks uneven; crisp printing matters more here than a spotless dial.

What owners love

  • The broad lugs and wide, smooth bezel give it more substance than a plain round dress watch. Owners particularly like how a leather strap leaves that case shape on show.
  • The crosshair-dial versions are a particular favorite: the fine lines add interest without crowding the dial, and work beautifully with the dauphine hands and applied markers.
