By the late 1960s, the collection had evolved to incorporate the tonneau or C-case shape, a hallmark of Omega design language during this period. The Reference 166.041 perfectly represents this era, utilizing the respected Caliber 565 movement, which provided owners with the convenience of a quickset date function and robust automatic winding.
