History & Significance
The Seamaster began life as Omega’s 100th-anniversary tribute in 1948, inspired by waterproof military watches from World War II. Known for its O-ring gasket and improved water resistance, it quickly became Omega’s best seller. In 1957, Omega introduced the Seamaster 300, designed for diving and professional use, worn by Jacques Cousteau’s team during the Conshelf II experiments.
By the 1990s, the Seamaster’s popularity was revitalized when it was chosen as the official James Bond watch, beginning with Pierce Brosnan’s GoldenEye (1995). Today, the Seamaster remains one of Omega’s most recognized collections, bridging heritage and modern pop culture.
The Ref. 166.0202 captures a transitional period in the Seamaster line. With its champagne dial, slimmer profile, and rare unsigned execution, it shows how Omega balanced experimentation with classic design.
Writer’s Thoughts
The charm of this Seamaster lies in its subtleties. The champagne dial with its vertical brushing feels both vintage and refined, while the warm pumpkin patina on the tritium lume adds character only decades can create. The fact that this example is part of a rarer group of unsigned Seamaster models makes it even more appealing to collectors who enjoy spotting the unusual within a classic family line. Additionally, the gold dial catches light in a particularly striking way.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega Seamaster Ref. 166.0202 is offered in original condition, representing an uncommon and stylish take on one of Omega’s most iconic model families.
