History & Significance
The 1970s marked a period of both innovation and refinement for Omega. As the brand transitioned from the space-age designs of the 1960s into the clean minimalism of the following decade, models like the Ref. 166.0117 captured the essence of functional elegance.
Equipped with the Caliber 1022, one of Omega’s most reliable automatic movements of the era, this watch offered chronometer-level precision, quick-set day and date functionality, and a smooth 28,800 vph beat rate. The silver sunburst dial and tritium lume details reflected Omega’s attention to both form and function, while the 34mm case remained versatile enough for daily wear.
Today, watches like this stand as perfect examples of the brand’s commitment to design integrity and mechanical excellence during a transformative time in horology.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is the kind of vintage Omega that never goes out of style. The proportions are balanced, the silver dial catches light beautifully, and the Caliber 1022 movement offers a satisfying smoothness when worn. It’s reliable, versatile, and representative of why Omega’s 1970s lineup continues to attract collectors looking for authenticity and value in equal measure.
Our Promise
