Omega Seamaster 166.002 movement holder question

alexei.joukovski · Aug 18, 2021

Hey guys,
Found a Beat up Seamaster 166.002 on ebay the other day,

It needs so far: Crown, stem, crystal, gasket, mainspring.

Does this reference case have a movement holding ring? I have a dial + movement + case, but it is hard to see if there is a ring like the 166.020.

Does the movement just lock into the case with case clamps and screws? I have one (looks like missing the other).
Cheers for help in advance.

No enlargement ring, just case clamps and screws.

The dial for this reference wraps around the side of the movement, sort of creating a bit of a movement holder / enlargement ring. You can see the edge of the dial between the movement and case in the pics below. Sections of the sides are cut-out to leave room for the clamps and stem.

You could have a seamaster with a special dial with cutouts (see attached picture of my old dial) that helps lock in the movement to the dial and then uses conventional case clamps. I am sure this type of dial has a “name” if any of the seamaster experts care to share the “actual name” that would be appreciated by everyone.
