Story of This Watch: The 166.041 was Omega's answer to the 1960s demand for a robust daily automatic that didn't require diving credentials. This 1969 example embodies late-1960s Swiss watchmaking at its finest. The gold plate has settled into a warm patina, the dial has that soft aged character collectors seek, the movement runs like it always has. This is a watch that was worn, cared for, & survived five decades intact.

Condition: Very good, rated 4/5. Champagne dial shows appropriate patina & aging consistent with original finish. Applied markers & lume pips intact. Gold-plated case shows expected wear patina. Screw-down caseback secure. Aftermarket strap fitted with some small aftermarket parts present. Movement running reliably. No servicing history.

Date Function: Date corrector missing. To adjust date, advance the watch forward 24 hours by running the movement through a full calendar cycle. Date will increment once per 24-hour period. Functional but requires manual rotation to correct.
