OMEGA Seamaster 300 (3rd), 1960s

— A watch that dreams of deep water —

Born in the 1960s for professional divers, the Seamaster 300 is one of Omega's enduring designs: hard enough for the open sea, and good-looking enough to have been worn everywhere else.

An acrylic bezel with real depth to its shine, twisted lugs, and tritium lume that has turned amber over the decades into a picture no new watch can offer.

— Details the years have burnished —

The lustre of the acrylic bezel, the curve of the twisted lugs. Against the black dial, the tritium lume has aged quietly into amber — the kind of scene a contemporary watch simply cannot stage. Strong sword hands and large markers give it a bluntness and a dignity at the same time.

— Calibre 552, still keeping faith —

At its heart is calibre 552, one of the automatic movements that made Omega's reputation. Durable, accurate, and still beating with an easy smoothness today.
