Omega Seamaster

About this reference

The Omega Seamaster reference 166.010 was produced during the 1960s, featuring a 35mm case design with integrated lugs. Collectors seek the 18k pink gold execution due to its lower production volume compared to yellow gold or stainless steel counterparts. This reference typically houses the caliber 562 or 565 automatic movements, which are noted for their swan-neck regulators and quick-set date functions. The case construction includes a screw-down caseback embossed with the Seamaster hippocampus logo, ensuring water resistance specifications of the era. On the secondary market, 18k pink gold examples generally command between $3,500 and $6,000 depending on the presence of an original solid gold beads-of-rice bracelet and dial condition. A notable variant includes the "Chronometer" certified version, which features the caliber 564 movement and specific dial text, often achieving higher premiums at specialized watch auctions.
