The Omega Seamaster 300 ref 165024 is a very well-regarded professional dive watch and has proved highly popular with both divers and sports watch fans all over the world and you are forgiven for thinking that this is just another standard production piece albeit a very nice example however looks can often be deceiving and this exceptional piece deserves much more than a second look.

Manufactured in the technology school at Le Locle the entire piece was produced by one master watch maker in 1968 as indicated by the engraving on the case back but its inside the case that things get even more special, the automatic cal 552 24 jewel movement is unique with a prototype serial number 00000550, The movement not only has the unique serial number but also is shown without the usual plated finish.

The Technicum is the world famous Le Locle School of watchmaking in Switzerland founded in 1868

The watch itself is in nice original condition although it has clearly been worn frequently just as it was intended to be when it was first assembled in 1968, The case is crisp with sharp lugs and the correct acrylic bezel with tritium five-minute markers and numerals has aged to perfectly match the tritium lume on the hour markers. The watch even has the correct Omega signed glass.

The movement runs exactly as it should having been recently serviced and as with all our pieces is guaranteed for a full 12 months

This a special watch for many reasons but equally a watch that can be worn and enjoyed daily

This piece is in stock and ready for worldwide shipping.

I realise from my own personal experience buying online can be a daunting prospect which is why I built this site. I’m a real person with a passion for vintage watches and meeting with likeminded people. So drop me a line if you would like to view anything in person as I’m happy to welcome you to my showroom in Cheshire anytime.

This website reflects me. I am a real person and would happily meet every single person who wants to buy a watch from me. However, I realise for many of you that might not be practical given I have sold watches as far afield as the USA and Canada as well as Brunei and continental Europe. So, to make the experience as genuine as possible I have invested in this website and spend a small fortune on high quality photography to present to you completely unedited, genuine pictures of my actual collection. There are no library shots of product on this site. Just the genuine article, in all their glory. Having said that once people see the product in person they are always surprised by the quality on offer which is by far the best outcome. It goes without saying though that every purchase comes with a 14-day money back guarantee and a personal 12 -month mechanical guarantee. I think it’s as risk free a purchase of a vintage watch you’re ever likely to get.
Every watch on this site has its own story, far more interesting that my own.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
The Watch Collector.
