In 1957, Omega released the Seamaster 300 model, which, together with the Speedmaster and the Railmaster, was dubbed by watch enthusiasts as the “Holy Trinity” of professional-grade wristwatches. Although the Seamaster 300 was not Omega’s first dive watch model, it was the first true professional dive watch. It received an official water resistance rating of 200 meters - the maximum depth to which the company could test its timepieces back then. As with the other two references, the Seamaster 300 features the rare and attractive broad arrow hour hand, giving it an extremely recognizable look which has become highly coveted amongst watch enthusiasts around the world. The broad hands allow for high legibility in all conditions, and the revolving bezel was specially designed to aid with decompression time.
The case of the present watch is in overall great condition with the lugs well preserved, and the hands and hour markers have developed a warm patina which further embellishes the beauty of this vintage Omega. Our research shows that the present watch is fresh to the auction market, making it a truly exquisite watch to collect.
