Omega was established in 1848 and since then the brand has been a trusted choice for explorers, athletes, and astronauts alike. Whether gracing the wrist of a deep-sea diver or accompanying astronauts on lunar missions, Omega watches are celebrated for their reliability and style. The Seamaster collection, introduced in 1948, epitomises Omega's legacy in crafting timepieces that merge elegance with functionality.  

The Omega Seamaster Ref. 166.010 is powered by Omega's highly regarded automatic Caliber 565 movement. Its 35mm stainless steel case is complemented by a clean, sunburst dial with applied indices and a date aperture at 3 o'clock.

The "Beads of Rice" (BOR) bracelet really sets this model apart from other Seamaster references. The bracelet features tightly linked "beads" that create a smooth, flexible band, offering exceptional comfort on the wrist.
