Vintage Omega Seamaster Green Dial Automatic Date – 1973 – Ref. 166.0167

An eye-catching and beautifully restored Omega Seamaster Green Dial Automatic from 1973 and powered by Omega’s respected automatic movement.

Reference 166.0167 represents an interesting period in Omega’s history, bridging the gap between the elegant dress watches of the 1960s and the bolder sports-inspired designs of the 1970s. The result is a watch with genuine vintage charm but a noticeably stronger wrist presence than many vintage Omega models.

This example has been professionally refurbished to a very high standard, featuring a vibrant green dial that transforms the watch while maintaining its classic Seamaster character. Paired with a striking orange leather strap, it offers a distinctive and contemporary look while retaining all the charm of a 1970s Omega.

Why We Love This Watch

While many collectors worry that vintage watches can wear too small by modern standards, this Seamaster is often the exception.

At 35mm, the dimensions sound modest on paper, however the substantial “beefy lug” case design gives the watch far greater wrist presence than most vintage 35mm watches. The broad tonneau-shaped case creates a larger visual footprint, making it suitable for a surprisingly wide range of wrist sizes.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about owning a vintage watch because of concerns over size, this could be the perfect entry point into vintage Omega ownership.

The watch is modelled on a 17.5cm wrist in the photographs and wears exceptionally well. It should comfortably suit small, medium and many larger wrists alike.
