    Dear Omega Fans,

    it looks like it is impossible to find an original 166.027 bezel.
    do you maybe know if any other omega bezel model would fit a 166.027?

    thank you very much,

    Don't know much about the Seamasters. Some Speedmaster bezels are interchangeable, maybe the case here too.

    Is yours is completely missing, or just in "well used" vintage condition?

    The bezel listed for that case looks like this:

    The Omega Extranet states it is still available...

    Cheers, Al

    You can't - it's only available to those who have an account with Swatch. If you can post a photo of the watch or one like it I might be able to help.

    Cheers, Al

    Welcome to the OF gratoon; Al is one of the "resident" watchmakers, and can usually answer any (and possibly all...) questions about Omega watches. I can vouch for his excellent work, as can many Forum members.

    This watch has a Cal. 565 inside, right?

    The case current numbering is a little messed up for these so the format is likely different now than when your watch was made. The 166027 is for a watch with a Cal. 1010 or 1012, where a 1660027 is for a watch with a Cal. 565.

    The bezel I showed previously was for the 166027, so not at all like yours, so yours must be a 1660027 under the new numbering system. In that case, the bezel is no longer listed, so not available.

    Good luck with your hunt for one.

    Cheers, Al

    Hello Al,
    I'm looking for same bezel for a case ref marked 166.027, housing a 565 cal 24j mvt. I have watch that looks almost NOS, but bezel is missing so I cannot measure. Can you source a black bezel?
    Regards,
    Keith

    My bezel is gathering fish dung in the Mediterranean. My Seamaster 120 is 166.027, but I believe it houses a Cal. 563.

    I need to replace the Hong Kong band with an 20151227_141258.jpg original band, case seal 20151227_122308 [103572].jpg and the missing bezel...otherwise it runs great-just needs a polishing. It's a shame there's not an aftermarket or other bezel that will fit.

    The bezels of these 120's are nearly unobtainable. Seldom do they pop up. You can buy a aftermarket bezel on ebay for $ 40.

    Thanks for the prompt reply... if you might have a link to these repros on eBay that would help... I’ve searched for some time & not had any luck.

    In the post by Al above he states that the Extranet indicates still available?
