Omega - Seamaster Automatic “Jumbo” / Textured Dial - 166.087 - Men - 1971

This Omega Seamaster Automatic Ref. 166.087 is one of the more distinctive early-1970s Seamaster references, appreciated by collectors for its substantial tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, strong wrist presence, and unmistakable period design. Often informally referred to by collectors as a “Jumbo” Seamaster, and sometimes associated with the broader “Baby Flightmaster” visual language, the model reflects Omega’s transition into bolder, sportier case architecture during the 1970s.

Case and Case Back: Stainless steel tonneau / cushion-form case with integrated-style lug architecture and screw-back case construction. The inner case back is correctly signed Omega Watch Co., Swiss Made, Acier Inoxydable, and bears the reference 166.087. The outer case back features the raised Seamaster hippocampus medallion. The case presents well, with visible but honest vintage surface wear consistent with age.
