Omega Companion Watch

A couple of years ago, forum member Kingsrider got me interested in the Omega Seamaster "Companion" watches. I was absolutely hooked on those two dots (one on either side 12) on the dial (similar to the Speedmaster) for some strange reason. Those dots separated the "companion" from the other Seamaster. Don't get me wrong the 166.002 Seamasters are very charming and I can't get enough of them.

But, those two dots to me, are like some "secret handshake" with other Omega lovers when you notice them on someone's wrist. This particular model is not well known, so when you see it on someone's wrist you know that Omega lover is from a different pedigree.

In the last few years, I have acquired a few companions that I have included here. I would appreciate other members showing their collections of this model and discussing their thoughts on it. How many different dial colors have you seen?

Wow, spectacular! Thanks for sharing these beauties.

Nobody else have a “Companion”? Show your Companions.

I know there are that many around, but this rare?

Great thread topic @Paulomega !

Thanks to a series of post by @kingsrider & I believe @JwRosenthal I also caught the bug for these Companion references. I have a grey sunburst dial example similar to the one in the first couple photos of the OP without the date complication. I’m out of town but when I’m home I’ll snap a photo of the watch when I’m back in a few days.
