The Memomatic ref. 166.072 was introduced by Omega in 1969. With a sizeable stainless steel case, measuring 40mm in width (excluding the crown), the case is detailed with a combination of satin and polished finishes. The model uses the highly complex Omega calibre 980 movement. Unusually the movement has a single barrel that controls the power for both the time and alarm functions. This means that the automatic rotor will provide all the power required for the watch to operate.
