Help - Omega Seamaster cal 565 from 1968

That might be “original” but it doesn’t fit right. What is the case number?

166.002. While the bracelet is 1156/6 with end link no. 599 so probably from a Geneve version? What would be the reference for a 1966 Seamaster one?

@SkunkPrince is spot on. That is not the bracelet that shipped with that watch. The radius is all wrong. It may be an original Omega bracelet, but it sure wasn't meant to be on that watch.

Still, that watch head on a leather strap will be very nice.

Indeed. Already got two nice leather straps.

There is no bracelet, officially, for that watch, according to lists published on this site. Perhaps @Archer has a more complete list?

You can sell the one you have and perhaps get some money back for an Omega strap and buckle.

I just would buy a generic leather strap. Why bother spending big money on a omega leather strap. But that's me.

I see the bracelet associated to SM300 only.

Thanks a lot!

I think I will keep it and eventually find a match for it. And to be honest it doesn't bother me as much as the refurbished dial on the initial SM I posted about. I already have a black Omega strap for it and the seller gave me a nice hand made brown leather one from France. All set for now 😀

Thanks again!

Many thanks for this link. I managed to find the exact bracelet and end link reference. It belongs to 60s Omega Geneve ref. 165/166.041.
