Description
This is a rare version of the Ref. 166.041 with a matt black dial and matching black date ring. The applied indexes have satin finished surfaces and, like the baton hands, are centrally set with black panels. This design gives the watch a great monochrome look that is distinctly different from the standard version of this model. Ref. 166.041 was first introduced by Omega in 1968 and the serial number of the present watch places it towards the beginning of the model’s production. Although different versions of the model exist, the standard dial finish had a satin silvered surface.
Powered by the excellent Omega calibre 565, the movement has 24 jewels and precision regulation. The calibre 565 includes provision for fast date adjustment via a secondary crown setting.
