Perfect for boardroom meetings and evening receptions, this vintage Omega Seamaster Day-Date (ca 1980) brings understated elegance to tailored looks. Its gold-plated and stainless steel design with a champagne dial complements a suit, while the day-date display keeps you organised from weekday schedules to weekend events.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What exactly is this model? A: It is an Omega Seamaster Day‑Date, reference 366.0848, from Omega’s International Collection of the late 1970s. Our example dates to around 1980. It features a 35 mm case, integrated bracelet in stainless steel with gold‑plated accents, a champagne dial, and an automatic day‑date display.
Q: Which movement does this reference use? A: This reference was typically fitted with Omega calibre 1020 or 1022, automatic movements with day and date and quick‑set functions. Power reserve is around 42 hours when properly serviced.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: When new, the Seamaster 366.0848 was rated to 30 metres. As with all vintage watches, water resistance is not guaranteed. We do not recommend swimming or showering with this piece; any water exposure should only follow a recent pressure test after service.
Q: How do I set the day and date safely on this watch? A: To avoid the calendar mechanism’s changeover, first move the hands to about 6 o’clock. Then use the quick‑set features: the date is adjusted via the crown’s quick‑set position, and on many 1020/1022 movements the day can be advanced by rotating the hands backwards in the time‑setting position. Do not use quick‑set between roughly 8 pm and 3 am, and never force the crown.
Q: What wrist size will it fit, and can the bracelet be adjusted? A: As currently sized, the integrated bracelet fits up to approximately 17 cm wrist circumference. It can be adjusted by adding or removing links. Extra links are not included unless specifically listed in the product information. Because the bracelet is integrated, standard straight‑end straps will not fit without the correct end pieces or adapters.
Q: Why do I sometimes see two references (166.0216 and 366.0848) for similar models? A: It’s normal for this case family to show dual references. The 366.xxxx number denotes the integrated‑bracelet version; the related 166.xxxx number covers the same case style configured for straps.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If items such as a box, warranty card, or spare links are not listed there, they are not included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good overall with light signs of wear. There are scratches on the case, case back and bracelet consistent with age and use. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the condition.
Q: How should I care for the gold‑plated and steel surfaces? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive polishing, harsh chemicals, and prolonged moisture. Store the watch in a dry place and have gaskets checked during routine service if you plan any exposure to humidity.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of the movement, case and reference numbers, serial ranges, dial printing and period‑correct details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
