·Model: Omega Seamaster 166.0251 from 1978-1980.
Case: Tonneau-ish with integrated bracelet. Case and bracelet have been brushed. Both show light wear.
Dial: Matte black with off-white patina developing on hour and minute markers. Watch is 35 years old, so lume is very faint. I believe the hands and crystal are replacement. Both clean.
Bracelet: Integrated and tapered. Two size settings available. I think this would fit up to a 7-inch wrist.
You don't see these very often. This is commonly mistaken for a Baby Ploprof. Although they do share some design cues, this is a 166.0251, made for a short time in the late '70s and early '80s. I have not had it serviced, but it is keeping accurate time.
Excerpt from page 333 of Omega's "A Journey Through Time":
"A diver's watch water-resistant to 120m, calibre 1012 with date, luminous black dial, tritium diamond-shaped and baton hands, unidirectional rotating bezel with 0-60 markings, mineral crystal, barrel-shaped steel case, circular stain-brushed case middle with polished lateral bevels [mine have been brushed], screwed crown protection by shoulders, screwed case back, integrated bracelet. (ref ST 366.0858 on the base 166.0251)"
Price: $1,900
The price on these is all over the place. I've seen people asking up to $4,000. I believe my price is fair for a rare vintage diver from one of the top names in watchmaking, so the price is firm. No trades.
Fine print: PayPal only, from a verified account. Will ship when payment clears. I'll cover all fees. Watch will be sent USPS Priority with full insurance. CONUS only. I have a string of flawless references in the Watch Deals section of Watchuseek and can provide more. I'll expect the same from you. PM me with any questions.
Returns accepted (minus shipping and insurance) if watch is not authentic.
Thanks. ... Deldog
