Part of the renowned 500-series family, this 24-jewel movement operates at 19,800 vibrations per hour and is celebrated for its robust construction, smooth winding, and dependable performance. The Calibre 552's reputation for longevity and reliability has helped cement the Seamaster 165.003 as one of the most enduring and admired vintage Omega references.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE SEAMASTER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Omega Seamaster was first introduced in 1948, launched to celebrate Omega's 100th anniversary. Drawing on technology developed for military watches during World War II, the early Seamaster models were designed as stylish yet durable timepieces. These watches offered water resistance suitable for daily wear and light aquatic activity, combining elegance with a new level of functionality for the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 1957, Omega released the Seamaster 300, a true professional dive watch. Although rated for 200 meters, it was marketed as a 300-meter diver due to its robust construction. It quickly gained popularity among divers and military professionals and was part of Omega’s legendary \"Professional Trilogy,\" alongside the Speedmaster and Railmaster. This marked a shift from the dressier origins of the Seamaster to a more tool-oriented watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDuring the 1960s and 70s, the Seamaster line expanded significantly. Omega introduced models like the Seamaster De Ville, which leaned toward elegant dress watches, and more experimental designs such as the Seamaster Cosmic with its distinctive cases and dials. The line continued to evolve with features like chronograph functions, automatic movements, and even integrated bracelets, showing off both Omega’s technical capabilities and stylistic innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eToday, the Seamaster is one of Omega’s most celebrated collections. Whether used by professional divers, worn by James Bond, or admired by watch enthusiasts and collectors, it remains a versatile and enduring icon in the world of horology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Seamaster 166.003 is a watch that perfectly balances elegance and everyday practicality. Its understated design has aged beautifully, and the dependable Calibre 565 only adds to its appeal. For me, it's one of those vintage Omegas that quietly showcases the brand at its best, timeless, well-built, and effortlessly wearable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62061199982979,"sku":"OS2632WO","price":1045.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/omega-seamster-165.003-front-_3.jpg?v=1784889817","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-omega-wristwatch-seamaster-165-003-automatic-1968-serviced","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
