Released in 1982, the Omega Seamaster Ref. 166.0281 showcases the brand’s refined take on everyday elegance during the early ’80s. This particular model features a gold-plated case with sharp, angular lugs and a matching signed crown, measuring 36mm across—ideal for both modern and vintage collectors. It’s fitted on its original gold-tone Omega bracelet, completing the cohesive aesthetic.
The standout feature of this watch is its rare gold sparkle-effect dial, which catches light in a subtle, eye-catching way. Slim applied indices keep the look clean and legible, while a date window at 3 o’clock adds day-to-day practicality without interrupting the dial’s balance.
Inside beats the reliable Omega Caliber 1110, a manual-wind movement known for its slim profile and solid performance. The watch remains in excellent condition overall, showing only minimal wear for its age—a great representation of early ’80s Omega design and craftsmanship.
