In the year of 1957, the replica Omega announced the Seamaster 300, four years after the introduction of the first professional diving wristwatch – the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms – and the Rolex Submariner. Actually, the Seamaster 300 wasn’t Omega’s first Seamaster, but it was the first real significant dive watch, obtaining an official water resistance rating of 200 meters, the maximum depth to which the company could test its fake watches back then.
Just like the Speedmaster and the Railmaster, the Seamaster 300 was part of a new trilogy of professional-grade wristwatches which used the same case and handset, the Seamaster 300 being aimed at professional divers. For practical reasons, Omega determined to manufacture all three pieces using the same base components, including the same cases and hands, but each piece would upgrade more sophisticated to meet the needs of the end-user.
The first generation Seamaster 300, measured 39mm and had straight lugs, a thin 60-minute bezel divided into 10-minute intervals, and wide arrow hands. The second generation, introduced seven years after the first, was 42mm, had chunkier twisted lugs, and also featured a wider bezel with hashes for every minute.
Fisher’s Seamaster 300 is a typical example of a watch that may not seem very unique until you take a closer view at what’s really in front of you and notice the fixed lugs, the tritium dial, and the military markings at the back, small features that don’t appear in equivalent civilian models and make this an exceptionally rare piece.
As a matter of fact, a nice Seamaster 300 Mil-Spec is a much rarer find than a good Rolex MilSub and based on availability alone, you would consider collectors would be ready to pay just as much for the Royal Navy’s initial choice as they are for the more famous MilSub. Whether or not they should is a matter of opinion, surely, and the mythical status of the MilSub is a sure thing at this point, but this particular Seamaster 300 might in fact have the cheek of beating its long-time competitor several times over this weekend when it goes up against quite a few submariners.
Add the original owner’s personal dive log and you’ve got yourself one of the most interesting diving watches of the 1960s, and absolutely one of the most well-preserved Seamasters replicas watches on the market.
