Just purchased an Omega Seamaster 166.003, calibre 562 with date on the 3 o'clock. Now for this particular watch I seem to have problems finding information.

Is it for example possible to hand wind all automatic Omega's with the 500 calibre range? Does the 562 have an easy date setting possibility? I don't want to force anything and find out more first.

It would be great receiving more info on this watch.

 

Yes and yes*.

A cal. 562 is the non-chronometer version of cal. 561 with the same basic attributes.

Have a look at ranfft.de for more information:

*can be moved one forward by moving the hands from 21-2 and repeat...

 

Thanks, this is helpful!

If you have more information on my watch, it's more then welcome

 

.sure.....but only after you post pics of your watch!

 

Here are a few pictures. Let me know what you think.

 

I'm curious what kind of information you can give me for this watch.

 

What is a normal reserve for a watch like this, from 1966?

 

That's mine
