History The Omega Seamaster reference 166.010 is characterized by its 35mm case, straight lugs, and sloped bezel. Historically, this reference was equipped with either the Caliber 562 or the Caliber 565 automatic movement. The Caliber 562 features a non-quickset date mechanism that can be advanced semi-manually by turning the hands back and forth between 9pm and 1am. The historically correct bracelet for this specific reference is the five-bead across Beads of Rice number 12 with number 11 endpieces.
