Vintage Pie Pan Crosshair Seamaster ID

Spoonta66 · Jul 23, 2025

Can anyone help out with an ID on this one, I'm struggling. Vintage Omega Seamaster ref. 166.010-63 S.C cal 562. I haven't seen many Seamaster with a Pie Pan dial and ever fewer with a crosshair as well. Seen it plenty of times on the Constellation models, but not Seamaster.

Can anybody shed some light on this model and potential insurance value to add to my collection's policy?

Not really that uncommon. Mine is a gold capped 166.009 with different lugs, but otherwise the same dial, and like yours was made in 1963. Yours has a replacement crown. As to value, search eBay SOLD vintage Seamasters in similar condition and age for realistic values. I like the pie-pan cross-hair combination and paid extra for it, but fine condition also played a part. If I were selling it I would want $USD 1300.

Are we considering these both pie pan dials? Am I being too strict to consider only this a proper pie pan:

With 12 distinct "facets", one for each hour marker.

A member was quick to challenge my designation of the following Seamaster dial as a pie pan. A quick online search reveals that some dealers refer to similar dials as pie pan. I don’t believe Omega ever defined the term.

Admittedly I'm still a newbie to the brand but I think you may be right. Pie-pan seems more of an analogy that refers to a design aesthetic I think. Perhaps it's more of a nickname much like the "turtle" reference ascribed to Seiko dive watches....

We need an ability to add surveys on this forum. This being survey #1. LOL. And once members have spoken, such shall be considered the absolute and undisputed truth going forward.

They must all be changed to Convex dialed because I personally have never seen a faceted PIE 🤣 ………..Plus the OP dial actually looks like a genuine pie pan for baking. My 2 cents

Not pie pan. ( curved lines between indices)

Pie pan (straight lines between indices)

No need for a survey - and this topic has been debated ad finitum.

It was (generally and properly) agreed fairly recently that an Omega pie pan has 12 faceted sides on the outer plane with a distinct change in angle from the inner to the outer plane.

The watches above are two tone dome dials.

It is just a nickname that has been adulterated by both dealers and Omega in their OVDB.

It's not an analogy: it's a corruption of the French expression "douze pans", meaning twelve faces.
But, who cares - all of the watches in this thread are gorgeous!

Mon dieu, I deed not know this. Oh well, as they say in French, one egg is enough 😉

I can definitely relate and TBH, I used get my knickers in a knot just a bit when the "turtle" nickname got bandied around when it came to Seiko divers. To be fair, these nicknames can be handy for those looking for a particular style of watch without knowing the model or reference number. Be that as it may, I'll try to stick to just the reference number on futures 😉

Unfortunately that’s not going to help you when referring to the Constellation line.

Whilst true Seamaster pie pans are few and far between, a number of Constellation references were supplied with both pie pan and dome dials.
- and both have the same references regardless of the dial style.

This does cause confusion when newcomers to vintage watches refer to wanting a ‘pie pan’ Constellation - generally referring to the most well-known dogleg references.

That's good to know, thanks. It can be a deep dive, eh?
