The case has a balanced and slightly angular profile typical of the era, offering a confident yet understated presence on the wrist while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. This example is fitted on a brown leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe dial is particularly appealing, finished with a textured sparkle effect that adds depth and character as it catches the light. Applied hour markers and slim hands provide excellent legibility, while the date window at 3 o’clock adds practical functionality without disturbing the symmetry. The overall aesthetic remains clean and versatile, elevated by the subtle but distinctive dial finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePowering the watch is the Omega Calibre 1342 quartz movement, known for its reliability and accuracy during this period. Produced by Omega, this movement represents the brand’s early advancements in quartz technology. The Ref. 196.0190 stands as a strong example of this transitional era, made even more desirable by its unique dial configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56938259480953,"sku":null,"price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/7942\/2905\/files\/DSC04075.jpg?v=1774899334","url":"https:\/\/timepiecevintage.com\/products\/1979-omega-seamaster-quartz-ref-196-190","provider":"Timepiece Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
