Hi there, amazing video! What do you know about the 168.016? I've just bought one... I'm guessing it's a special case number contemporary with the 168.018 but designed to house the slightly thicker day/date 751 movement? The lugs in profile are different again, but otherwise it's very similar to the 168.018..

Great video, thank you for sharing your expertise! Is it possible to send you some pics of my seamaster chronograph cal. 321 from 1958 (I believe) and have your opinion on it? Thanks in advance!

You're welcome. If you have any questions regarding a personal watch or one online, the best place to direct ask is on the Omega Forum website. There you will find many other specialists to help you out. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks so much for the informative video! I'm wondering if you could do the same type for pre-1960s Omega Geneve or DeVille? There are so little info about these two interesting lines out there

There is also one on Seamaster to Seamaster Geneve to Just Geneve. Also in the "watch2talk" playlist under case model 136.011. This is just one example. But very much same information.

Your video is fantastic :-) I have had both the 168.004 (one in gold on steel with pie pan dial and one in steel without piepan) and the 168,018 in steel. Unfortunately I have sold those watches - I think it is the topmodel of Omegas in the 60'es. Now I have seen an omega 168.010 for sale in steel and with a pie pan dial - I had to check it out, and because of your video I can see that this Omega is kosher. Thanks a lot for your information :-) And to other Omega vintage owners: If you have epscielly the reference 168.004 and 168.010 - do never ever sell them. You will regret it.

There are other good dealers out there also. Whatever you like to buy, just make sure to thoroughly study that particular case model and you should do fine.

I just enjoy your very informative video on these Omegas. I’ve been recently given the 168.018 but only the head. Where can I find the appropriate bracelet or should I just buy an after market leather strap?

@TimelessHistoryChannel

I would stick to a leather strap. Bracelet you can try shopping around on Ebay. Make sure it comes with the correct size endpieces.

Very instructive video, thank you. I inherited two omega wrist watches from my father in law, one of the now identified as a 168.010 thanks to your video. One question though: it appears as if there is a cross line on the glass. Mine does not have it. Would this be original?

168.010 can also have 527 end links no? I saw some references saying so!

I never actually try that. Since I am not a specialist when it comes to end link. But 527 at 19mm should work no problem.

Hi, and thank you for the comment. If you have any questions feel free to ask directly on the Omega forums, as there are many specialists there who can assist your question. I get a ton of questions throughout each day on my website and Instagram. To reduce stress, I will answer anything related to the products I have for sale. Try to find out two things as it will help you narrow down to possibly the exact model: 1. What is the lug width? 168.018 is the only model that takes 19mm strap while the other two take 18mm. 2. What calibre is inside your watch, 561 or 564? 564 has a quick set which only 168.010 and 168.018 carries.

Can 168-004 by manually wound at all , or is it impossible as you suggest ?

@TimelessHistoryChannel

3 жыл бұрын

It can be if you can smaller fingers. But that will also depends on the freshness of the crown gasket and whether the automatic system has been well lubricated. Otherwise, you'll not be able to wind it with using your finger tips.

Does a .018 share crystals with a .004 & .010 ? I been given part numbers PX5112 for .018 and PX5008 for .004 & .010? Or are they the same physically?

If I remember correctly, all three references carry the same size crystal. Just make sure you keep their original crystal ring.

Yes, but if you do that you will be creating a franken timepiece. An Omega specialist will be able to tell believe it or not. And why wear a made up watch, right? Another thing to know is that the movement serial number on the Omega Archive will reveal what case model it belongs to. Best to stick to an all correct timepiece.

Why does the serial number 25xxx appear in the years 1968-1969 (model 168.018) thank

25mil dates to 1967 by estimation. But on the extract from the Omega archive it could be from 1968.
