路It recently dawned on me that I have accumulated two cal 564 Seamaster Chronometers nominally from 1969 according to Omega's serial number chart, and I think they make for an interesting contrast illustrating the design changes at Omega during that time.
The 166.010 reflects the older small chunky curved lug style case, tapered polished bezel, sunburst dial, and BoR bracelet, while the 168.022 has a more modern larger case with sharply faceted lugs, a flat bezel with radial brushing, a distinctive sparkle dial and a sporty 1125 bracelet.
Interesting that they were basically contemporaneous.
