Description
The white sparkle dial on this Seamaster Day-Date is a subtle yet captivating feature, offering a dynamic play of light that adds life to the watch without overwhelming its classic look. The sunken minute track adds depth and visual intrigue, creating a layered aesthetic that is rarely seen in modern dials. Applied baton markers and Omega’s clean typography complete the dial with crisp precision, while the day-date window at 3 o’clock balances functionality and symmetry.
The case & movement
Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case, the reference 168.023/166.032 wears comfortably while maintaining a confident wrist presence. The lugs are broad and strong, giving the case a masculine profile, while the polished bezel adds a refined touch. Inside beats the Omega caliber 752—an automatic movement from Omega’s revered 700-series. Introduced in the late 1960s, the 752 features a day-date complication and quickset date, marking it as one of Omega’s most practical and reliable calibers from the era.
Adding to the watch’s appeal is the presence of the rare Omega 1069 bracelet with correct end links. Often considered a collector’s item in its own right, the 1069 is valued for its slim, elegant construction, comfort and above all its rarity. With a price tag around the €500 range this bracelet is an integral part of this elegant watch’ value.
This Omega Seamaster Day-Date Ref. 166.032 is a well-balanced vintage piece that stands out through both condition and detail. The white sparkle dial adds just the right amount of character, while the sharp case and rare 1069 bracelet make it a complete and collectible package. For those seeking a practical vintage Omega with strong wrist presence and subtle flair, this is a compelling choice.
