    Dear Forum members

    I recently received the below shown Omega Admiralty Diver and would like to share some pictures. As these are not very often shown I would also appreciate additional infos if available :)

    The reference 166.054 stands for the Diver in Omega's Admiralty line. Inside works the well known cal 565, also known from famous Seamaster 300. The anchor shows its nautical heritage. Date and central second are comfortable functions.

    The silver dial with black bezel fits various occations: weekends outside even swim or just desk diving in the office, the very comfortable to wear Omega Admiralty Diver is a good companion.

    Here are some impressions:

    Coming from a fellow Admiralty fan (especially, the non-diver version), let me say congrats on a very nice acquisition and I enjoyed your write-up. I wish the Diver's bracelet would fit the non-diver versions. But I guess I should just embrace the stretch band as being an intended pairing by Omega's design team in the 1960's...

    The non-diver version is also great, reminds me of a perfect Tool watch

    Thanks for the nice words

    The Admiralty and its various incarnations would be considered vintage. This thread might elicit more responses if it were posted in the Vintage Omega Discussion and Advice Forum.
