This legendary Omega Seamaster 300 in original condition with unpolished case and untouched dial offers a rare opportunity for any discerning Omega collector. Here we offer a fine example of the reference 165.024 from 1966.
Every design element of this iconic diver's watch is based on a function. The high-contrast dial ensures better readability. The large 42mm stainless steel case is robust and protects the movement and dial from water thanks to its screw-down back. The rotating bakelite bezel has large luminous markings to make it easier to read the dive time under water. Combined with the original steel bracelet, the result is a striking, purist look that makes this watch unique.
This Seamaster 300 is in a condition that discerning vintage collectors will appreciate: worn but unpolished. Considering its age of almost 60 years, it shows very few signs of wear, especially because this watch has never been polished. Even the acrylic crystal with the Omega logo in its center has never been changed and shows the typical fine cracks proving its originality.
