Footnotes:
In 1971 Omega launched the reference ST 166.093. Water resistant up to 1000 meters, the model was the most water resistant watch ever made by Omega. The ST 166.093 was made in very limited numbers. Reportedly, Prince Rainier III of Monaco commissioned Omega to produce 50 watches to give as gifts to friends of the Monaco Oceanographic Research Institute and Museum, with Jacques Cousteau receiving the first. A further 100 watches were made available to the public.
