The Omega Memomatic ref.166.072 was launched in 1969. It is a watch that is now over 50 years old and yet it retains a certain modernity even today. The particularity of this model is that it is an automatic watch with an alarm complication. The integration into the dial is superb with two discs in the center that allow you to set the hours and minutes of the alarm. The watch has a cushion-shaped stainless steel case, measuring 40 mm wide (excluding the crown), the case is detailed with a combination of satin and polished finishes. The model uses the very complex Omega caliber 980 movement. Unusually, the movement has a single barrel that controls the power supply for the time and alarm functions. This means that the automatic rotor will provide all the energy needed to run the watch. The majority of vintage alarm watches had a separate manually wound barrel for the alarm (as in the memovox). The pusher at 2 o'clock controls the alarm settings and a recessed pusher at 3 o'clock allows for quick date adjustment. I really like the colors of this watch with the three tones: gray, black and orange typical of the 70s. In order to give a touch of fantasy to the watch I chose to equip it with a galucha strap that matches the watch perfectly. This is a watch that I have had for some time and I still enjoy wearing it.
