This is my vintage Omega Seamaster ”ploprof” 166.077 (first reference of this model) that I got recently with its original Isofrane strap. I was always hesitant buying this reference as the design didn’t really appeal to me, but seeing it in reality and trying it on made me change my mind. Even with its size, it sits very comfortable on my wrist and the pure utilitarian design just screams ”tool watch”. It has some patina on the dial and hands, but that adds just some charms to it. Even as a collector, tool watches like these (togheter with issued military watches), I prefer them to have some patina and wear of heavy use rather han being ”NOS” examples.
