The Omega Seamaster reference ST 176.005 is a typical creation from the 1970s.
The model falls under the Seamaster line, but also shares design elements used for Speedmaster models – as in the Mark III for instance – and Flightmaster models, with a distinct secondary hour hand and a massive steel case with hooded lugs. In some ways it could more appropriately be placed in the Speedmaster line.
The Omega caliber 1040, with its copper-colored finish, was the manufacturer’s first automatic chronograph movement, and was also used in other iconic Omega models such as Speedmasters from the same era.
This model was proposed with a few types of dials silver or blue).
In 1848, Louis Brandt founded a company in La Chaux-de-Fonds which would become Omega. In the 1880s, the Louis Brandt & Fils company moved to its current site in Bienne and in 1894 the caliber Omega was created, which would give its name to the company. Renowned for its precise, innovative and affordable watches, it became the largest supplier of watches to the British Army during World War II. It also became the first company to time the Olympic Games in 1932. Among its range of numerous professional watches, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969.
