I have seen this on ebay, but I have not seen many for sale, this is the listing on Omega's database: Seamaster Gents' leather strap Reference ST 166.0110 International collection 1971 Movement Type: Automatic (mechanical) Caliber number: 1002 Created in 1968 20 jewels Central sweep second-hand Functions Date Case Stainless steel Case back Screw-in Dial With luminous metal hands Crystal Mineral Bracelet Corfam Water resistance 60 meters
The bulbous case and the date feature are off-putting to me but there are others who love watches featuring the styling of that era.
I do like the look of the dial's styling except that I don't personally care for a date feature. This one's date is a bit less intrusive than some.
Not rare maybe unpopular Sold this 6 months ago, was bristol, went cheap as chips https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-166-087-seamaster-cal-1002.17667/ Calibre 1002 was the first Omega with 28,800 beats per hour . . .
Acquired.....or perhaps just a matter of taste. I like that styling, but this one seems a little milquetoast-y. Perhaps the lighting/photo.....
I'd wear the gold one. The steel one doesn't excite me. I find that I am not a fan of stick hands, especially the ones with squared-off tip. Perhaps why I don't like anything Rolex is putting out right now. Tom
Not rare and not that popular... Bought one, dirt cheap, early in my watchcareer and had a go at the sunburst brushing of the case myself. Also thought that the original hands were too thin for the chunky watch - so I mixed and matched a little myself. Chose a red second hand to match the red indexes. I was not yet schooled in the "original, original, original" way of collecting. Mea culpa - mea maxima culpa. Still have it as I see no point in selling it - still nothing worth monetary wise and as it is non original it is even less interesting for collectors. I might give it away as a gift to some young relative if anyone of them fancy it.
I love it but I like the 70s styling in general. I think I am in a minority though. Good thing about omega watches, they have something for everyone.
