Recently I have been developing a fascination with a Seamaster 60 M 166.062. They seem to be pretty scarce and don't surface too often. I have been researching them and they were produced from the late 60's to very early 70's. Does anyone know if Omega made them with different movements? From what I have seen, it should be a cal. 565 24J, but have come across 2 that had a different cal. One had a cal. 561 24J, and the other had a cal. 563 17J. I would like to buy one that is original. Thanks!

 

they are very nice indeed

 

Nope, that's the real depth rating. That was a big deal back then. There weren't many watches claiming more than 200m in the 60's and 70's.

 

Gatorcpa,

Thanks for the great info. I did find out last night according to the cronomaddox website which lists Omega models and their movements, that it only listed cal. 565 for this watch. All the ones I searched for that showed pic's of the movement had cal. 565 except for the one I found for sale that showed a cal. 563 which scared me and made me back off from it. It's good to know though, that it could have the cal. 563 for the US market. I might have to ask the seller what's up with the movement because it's advertised as all original.​

.
I just saw some pic's of them and it is my "next got to have watch" for some reason. As far as my research, I have googled them and found pic's and discussions on other forums, as well as, other Omega info sites. I learned a lot in a short period of time. If you google the reference # 166.062, you should be on your way. Cheers!
Tim

 

Mine came with a 1098 bracelet with 540 end links. Unfortunately, the bracelet was too small for my wrist and did not come with extra links.

 

Some links for a 1098 are on eBay now. Just purchased one

 

Thanks for the heads up!!
