The Omega Seamaster Automatic Comressor Reference 166.042 is a compelling choice for collectors who value unique design elements. Its square tonneau style steel case, a departure from the conventional round Seamaster cases, offers a distinct geometric allure. This example stands out with its striking original blue dial, featuring white radial block markers and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. The applied Omega logo and blue sweep seconds hand add to its visual appeal. This reference is highly sought after for its design-driven dial executions, often seen in blue, burgundy, or racing styles, which set it apart from the more conservative Seamaster models. The caliber 562, a 24 jewel automatic from Omega's 550 family, is known for its technical precision and historical significance, making it a fitting engine for this late 1960s to early 1970s model. An intriguing aspect of this watch is the tension between the movement's serial number, indicating a 1963 production, and the case reference, suggesting a circa 1970 assembly, offering a fascinating narrative for vintage watch enthusiasts.
