The broad polished bezel forms a clean frame around the dial, while the brushing along the case sides gives the design a little more character than it first lets on. It has the elegance of a dress watch, but with the reassuring presence that makes these classic Seamasters so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sunburst dial is the real reward when the watch moves in the light. The applied markers catch a glint, the slender hands are beautifully in proportion, and the framed date feels part of the composition rather than an afterthought. There is a quiet confidence to this kind of mid-1960s design: nothing oversized, nothing included just for effect. It is the sort of watch whose small details reveal themselves gradually, and that is a large part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the clever details of the Calibre 565 is its distinctive date-setting mechanism. Rather than turning the crown to advance the date, the wearer uses a pull-and-push action to move the calendar forward one day at a time. It was a welcome convenience in the 1960s and remains an interesting piece of practical watchmaking. As with other vintage quickset mechanisms, the date should be adjusted with the hands well clear of the midnight changeover period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we particularly love about the Seamaster 166.010 is that it isn't a watch you need to save for a special occasion. It has all the elegance you could wish for, yet there's something wonderfully relaxed about it. It's a watch you can enjoy on an ordinary day and still feel a little special every time you put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there's a particular pleasure in knowing that the movement ticking away on your wrist is a genuine piece of Omega's mechanical watchmaking history. More than half a century has passed, yet here it is, ready to become part of somebody else's story. For us, that's one of the greatest joys of owning a vintage watch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62832843489667,"sku":"OS2431WO","price":1325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/omega-seamaster-166.010-front-_22.jpg?v=1792144084","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-omega-wristwatch-seamaster-166-010-automatic-1966-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
