Omega Geneve, Ref. 166.0163, Cal. 1012, Men’s Automatic Vintage Watch

Approximately 40-micron gold plating over steel and a warm gold sunburst dial define this Omega Genève watch from 1973, reference 166.0163. The slim 35 mm head spans 41 mm from lug to lug, with a polished bezel and vertically brushed lugs. Gold hands have black centre stripes, while automatic caliber 1012 supplies a quick-set date through an original gold-tone signed crown.

Gold sunburst and onyx-style inserts

The dial has a yellow-gold sunburst finish and applied baton hour markers with black onyx-style inserts. Their dark appearance provides contrast against the warm surface. A clean minute track surrounds the dial, with a framed date window at 3.

An applied Omega logo and Omega Automatic printing appear at 12, with Genève at 6. Slim gold stick hour and minute hands have black centre stripes, continuing the marker contrast. A matching gold central seconds hand completes the display, and the dial remains fully preserved with crisp printing.

Plated steel with vertically brushed lugs

The case is stainless steel beneath approximately 40 microns of gold plating. Its polished bezel and vertically brushed, sharp lugs retain different finishes. It measures 35 mm across and 41 mm from lug to lug, with a slim profile and an 18 mm strap attachment.

The original gold-tone Omega-signed crown operates smoothly for time setting and quick-set date adjustment. The original crystal carries the Omega logo. A black leather strap contrasts with the warm head and accompanies the original watch components.

High-beat automatic caliber 1012

Swiss Omega caliber 1012 powers this automatic watch, with 23 jewels and a nominal frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Its hacking seconds support precise time setting, and the date has quick-set adjustment. The watch has been fully serviced and is fully operational, currently running accurately.

Omega watches in the Genève line of the late 1960s and 1970s sat between the more tool-oriented Seamaster range and dressier De Ville designs. Reference 166.0163 expresses the cleaner dress side through its narrow polished bezel, gold dial and slim hand shapes. Its slim profile and black leather strap suit both formal and casual wear.

The watch is used and in excellent vintage condition, with its original watch head components, signed crystal, gold-tone crown and fully preserved dial retained. A black leather strap is fitted. It comes with a 12-month warranty, and worldwide shipping is available.
