1969 Omega Seamaster 166.010 - Beads of Rice Bracelet - Gerald Genta design - 565 Caliber
The Omega Seamaster 166.010 really hits that sweet spot as a daily wearer. There's something refreshing about a watch that doesn't try too hard - it simply does its job with quiet confidence, adapting to whatever your day throws at it.
The cal. 565 movement keeps everything ticking along reliably inside a thoughtfully proportioned 35mm case. Those extended lugs are clever - they give the watch more wrist presence without making it feel oversized. The dial design strikes just the right note between classic and contemporary, with a layout that feels both familiar and timeless.
Here's where things get interesting, and not many people know about: Gerald Genta is the mastermind behind some of horology's most celebrated designs, which shaped both the case and bracelet for this piece. His influence shows in the way every element feels purposeful and harmonious. This versatility is what really sets the 166.010 apart. Happy to answer any questions and provide more pictures!
