To contemplate without ever tiring of it

My latest watch, this Omega reference 166.0173, is my first vintage watch (1970s), and after a few weeks on my wrist, I love it! I don't even know where to start, there are so many things I love. Perhaps the diameter: 36 mm. It's the smallest watch in my collection, and frankly, it fits perfectly on the wrist. Then, without a doubt, the integrated bracelet (ref. 1186/215): without it, the style of this watch would be completely different. Plus, it's very comfortable. Another detail I love: the green sunray dial, which catches the light beautifully and, in itself, makes you want to look at it constantly. And finally, aesthetically, the crown: I love its size, the Omega logo... It really gives the watch charm (even if it's a little complicated to use). As for the caliber, it's equipped with an Omega 1012. For a vintage watch, I find it keeps time quite well, but the power reserve (or perhaps the automatic recharge) isn't exceptional. Perhaps it needs servicing? I associated a personal story with this watch when I bought it, and I was a little afraid of being disappointed since it was an impulse buy online. Ultimately, I'm convinced it will never leave my collection, and that I'm going to have a great time with it! And wouldn't it be a green Oyster Perpetual 26 (Ref: 126000) but even more beautiful? (Well, less robust, okay!)
