Thanks Graham.
Do you still have yours? It looks like it might be a good candidate for a Bienne restoration as the bezel and dial look good and they are the key vintage components in this watch IMO. A hand set is an easy fix. Interesting the red second hand in yours, I wonder if that was added in by a previous owner as I've not seen that configuration anywhere before. My case was a train wreck before it went to Beinne, soft rounded edges, a bad refinishing job attempted somewhere before I got it. As you can see from the picks Omega did a flawless job on the case. Anyhow where ever it is now I hope somebody is loving it.
Regards,
Zac
Ref 166.091 some wrist shots.
My apologies to those this does not interest but I received a request form a fellow Purist for some wrist shots of this watch and I thought it might be easier just to post them here. Those who like this sort of thing can enjoy them and those who dont can...
a much forgotten classic Omega Zac
great pics of a great watch, seamaster 200m in pilot line case. yours is in remarkable condition. i had one which had what can only be described as 'heavy patination' these pilot line cases fit the wrist far better than you'd think they would dont they. a...

mines long gone Zac, ...
mines long gone Zac, as are over 100 other great Omegas, but that was 2007 and ive built the collection back up with some other great pieces including Omegas. not many regrets as we must look forward in life. it is better to have owned and sold than ne...
Great set looks to be in great condition
I was wondering if that was the same case size as the 1000 depth version? Thanks Bill
Not the same, Bill . . .
. . . the Seamaster 1000 was significantly larger, and had a curved caseback as well. A good companion for a Ploprof, no? . . .
Art is spot on, much smaller in bulk ....
if not in dimentions. Being that the SM1000 is a monocoque case, it was much thicker and heavier to achieve its high technical requirements. The SM200 is a sports/recreational watch not the record setting professional watch the SM1000 is but it is a more ...
It will be a long hunt to find the omega SM1000
It seems that finding an original is rather difficult as most are somehow assembled from parts. Thanks for the interesting info and the I hope to join your 70's omega bad boys. Bill
Classic watch and not too large...
I have the same mesh on my similarly cased Flightmaster, and have never found it too large. The mesh bracelet gives the watch a bit more heft and does well to balance the weight of the case better on the wrist. Plus, I love how it tucks under the case end...
Very true mrsnak!
Big but not too big. The mesh really balances it out and holds the watch in place. I used to wear my cal. 911 flightmaster on the mesh from time to time as well. Your cal. 911 is stunning by the way. Looks to be in a bit nicer condition than mine. Regards...
