The Omega Seamaster Ref. 176.005, commonly known by the nickname "Jedi", is a distinctive 1970s automatic chronograph characterized by its "TV-shaped" case and advanced movement. While several dial colors exist, the blue dial version is highly sought after for its striking aesthetic and 1970s flair.

• Case Design: A large, bulky stainless steel "TV case" measuring approximately 42mm x 49mm, with a thickness of 16mm.

• Movement: Powered by the Omega Caliber 1040, which was Omega's first automatic chronograph movement (based on the Lemania 1340). It features a unique central minute chronograph hand and a 24-hour day/night indicator at 9 o'clock.

• Dial Variants: The blue dial typically features a sunray finish with contrasting accents, such as light blue or teal on the chronograph hands and sub-registers.

• Crystal: Originally fitted with mineral glass.

• Production Era: Produced roughly between 1972 and 1976

• The "So-Called" Jedi: The 176.005 gained the nickname after it was labeled as such in a 2007 Antiquorum "OmegaMania" auction catalog. Despite this technical error, the name stuck, and it is now widely accepted and used by dealers and collectors alike.
