FOR SALE – OMEGA SEAMASTER CHRONOMETER REF. 166.028 (1960S)

We are proud to offer this attractive Omega Seamaster Chronometer reference 166.028 from the 1960s, a highly desirable vintage Omega that combines elegant styling, chronometer certified, and excellent everyday wearability. With its larger 36.5mm stainless steel case, beautiful original dial, and renowned Omega calibre 564 automatic movement, this Seamaster stands out as one of the more substantial and versatile Omega dress watches of the era.

The original dial remains one of the highlights of this watch. Its clean silver white finish is complemented by applied baton hour markers and matching hands, creating a refined and highly legible appearance. The balanced layout, Seamaster signature, and framed date aperture at 3 o’clock result in a timeless design that feels every bit as elegant today as it did more than half a century ago.

A particularly attractive feature of this reference is its larger 36.5mm case size. At a time when most dress watches measured closer to 34mm, the 166.028 offered a more robust wrist presence while maintaining the elegant proportions expected from a classic Omega. Today, this larger size makes the watch especially appealing to modern collectors seeking vintage charm without sacrificing wearability.

The stainless steel case remains in nice vintage condition with light signs of wear consistent with age. The watch is fitted to a beautiful ostrich leather strap, which perfectly complements its sophisticated character and adds a touch of individuality.

Inside beats the highly regarded Omega calibre 564 automatic movement, one of Omega’s finest chronometer-certified calibres from the period. Known for its reliability, smooth operation and excellent timekeeping performance, the calibre 564 remains a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Further enhancing its originality, the watch retains its original Omega signed crystal and original Omega crown, details highly appreciated by vintage Omega collectors.

Overall, this is a highly wearable and well-preserved Seamaster Chronometer that effortlessly combines mechanical excellence, timeless design, and strong collector appeal.
