History & Significance
The Seamaster line began as a tribute to Omega’s 100th anniversary in 1948, designed with improved water resistance thanks to its O-ring gasket. In 1957, Omega introduced the Seamaster 300, which became the professional diver’s model, famously used during Jacques Cousteau’s Conshelf II experiments.
By the 1990s, the Seamaster had become a cultural icon after being chosen as James Bond’s watch in GoldenEye (1995). Pierce Brosnan and later Daniel Craig wore Seamasters on screen, cementing its status in modern pop culture. Special editions like the 2015 “Spectre” edition have continued that legacy.
This particular reference, the 166.010, highlights Omega’s refined side of the Seamaster family. With its clean silver-toned sunburst dial, uncommon no-lume execution, and sharp dauphine hands, it stands apart from tool-focused dive watches and instead embodies classic mid-century elegance.
Writer’s Thoughts
The appeal of the Ref. 166.010 lies in its restraint. The no-lume dial gives the watch a sleek, formal presence, while the dauphine hands with black inlay provide sharp contrast against the silver sunburst finish. It’s a Seamaster that bridges everyday wear and refined sophistication—perfect for someone who wants history on their wrist without it feeling loud or overstated.\n
