Strangely enough, the OP isn't wrong about that. Web search for that reference does indeed turn up a few (apparently independent?) descriptions of it as a "Speedmaster". Of course, these are the same folks that describe the size as "0.35mm"

No the watch is not a Speedmaster. Not even close. Photos aren't great but it does look like a genuine Omega watch.

Whatever it is it's in desperate need of a bath.

I guess if 6bar of water resistance is enough to make a watch a "Seamaster" these days, might as well milk the Speedmaster name too.

Yes, there are actually weird Speedies.

But a 166.0285 with a caliber 720?
I don't think so.

It could be a stainless variant of a 766.0895, which is a ladies version.

What is the actual reference of this watch? If it is the 166.0285, please see the below comment. The ladies reference is noted as coming with the 720 movement.
