Story

Seamaster is one of Omega’s most distinctive watches (right up with Speedmaster). Since the 1990s, the watch has been seen on the wrist of 007, James Bond which was introduced by the Swiss watch genius Mr. Jean-Jaque Biver and his team. Purists in the vintage watch community might not appreciate its association with 007, however, the recent reissue of the Seamaster 300 (seen in the 24th James Bond film, Spectre) has renewed interest in the early models.

Here we are presenting a beautifully preserved 1968 rather rare Big Triangle date version with exceedingly difficult to obtain extract from the Omega archives, giving this watch historical connection and meaning.

This particular example is a no-date variant particularly desirable for collectors due to a rare dial configuration. Known as “Big Triangle” or “Big T” dials, these watches feature a large triangular plot at 12:00, most commonly associated with military-issued models. No-date Big Ts have some documented history of military issue, making them particularly desirable.

Finding an untouched original SM300 (nonetheless a Big T model) today is becoming a truly difficult endeavor.

This example has an honest case with normal wear, with the aging and patination of the bezel insert, dial, and hands speaking of thousands of hours in sun and sea.

Paired up with a NATO or dressed-up with a leather strap, this versatile diver is beautiful to wear, stylish, sturdy and a collectors dream with the original box and Omega archives Extract.
