Our Vintage Watch of the Month: The Seamaster 300 from 1957!
This month's vintage watch is a true diving legend. The OMEGA Automatic Seamaster 300 released in 1957 had water resistance guaranteed to a depth of 200 metres. The watch was known as the 300 because its performance was far beyond the capacities of the testing devices of the time. It was equipped with OMEGA’s calibre 501 and had a matt black oxidised dial. It had Arabic numerals at the quarters, luminous triangular hour markers and highly visible arrowhead hands treated with radium. The tip of its central seconds hand was also coated with radium for easy legibility in all light conditions. The OMEGA 300’s rotating bezel made it possible for timers to keep track of the exact time of the duration of their dives. And, of course, it inspired the new Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial.
