Amanico shares his deep appreciation for the Omega Seamaster 300 Ref. 165.024, articulating its appeal through his '4 S Rule.' This article delves into the community's shared admiration for this vintage diver, highlighting its enduring design and historical significance.
Here are some new pictures I took of this great watch, a ... 1964 model ( Calm down, Graham, it is mine and not for sale! 
) , which, in my opinion, respects the " 4 S Rule ".
I would say:
1/ Sophisticated, with its " Lyre " lugs:
2/ Strong, with its impeccable indexes, which warmly contrast with the deep black dial:
3/ Sexy, if we refer to the slightly curved plexy and its sensual curves:
4/ Sublime, as the watch is in great condition, from the bezel to the dial and case, and what to say about the awesome patina?
I should also say ... Secret, with its discrete Omega Logo engraved on the plexy, just above the axis of the hands...
What's not to fall in love in front of such a beauty?
A perfect example of how dangerous and addictive can be a Vintage watch.
Looking forward to read your opinions and comments,
Best to All.

The Seamaster 300 reference is a re-edition that draws inspiration from Omega's historical dive watches. It is characterized by its robust construction and design elements that pay homage to early professional timepieces, while incorporating modern watchmaking advancements. This reference is positioned as a contemporary interpretation for enthusiasts who appreciate vintage aesthetics combined with current performance standards.
This particular Seamaster 300 features a stainless steel case, typically measuring 41 mm in diameter. It is equipped with an automatic movement, often a Master Co-Axial caliber, providing a substantial power reserve. The watch is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal, contributing to its vintage appearance while offering enhanced scratch resistance. Its construction ensures a high degree of water resistance suitable for aquatic activities.
For collectors, this reference appeals to those seeking a blend of historical design and modern technical specifications. It represents Omega's commitment to its heritage while offering a reliable and well-engineered timepiece. The Seamaster 300 is a significant part of the brand's contemporary collection, offering a distinct alternative to other models within the Seamaster family.
your feelings for the aesthetics of this watch is nicely expressed and i agree wholeheartedly. just for the hell of it i'll post pics of my 2 as well First the Original condition piece. and next, the refurbed piece. as you can see, it was pretty rough when i got it in its original condition. i'm not into dive watches, but these are so historic that i'm happy to make 3 exceptions. lovely, highly desirable watches, or would be when the world comes out of recession. best Graham
... a new rule is set by Nico to appreciate a vintage watch... this is my first to hear such excellent rule. can't agree with you more. in any case, i am just jealous to see you finally hunted for such stunning SM300 in superb and excellent condition. indeed too many signature vintages that i like to hunt for... no doubt this SM600 is one of these many. by the way, congrats, great watch indeed. stefan
I still don't know how you managed to get 3 '64 SM 300, you're a magician, Graham! Alll the best, Nicolas
The thin bezel is to die for. Now, on this SM 300 165 024, I love its homogeneity, and the facth that, to me, it is more a dive watch than the 14 755. The large bezel and the nigger indexes /hands, make it more legible. Best, Nicolas
I own this one for 3 years and a half, now. I didn't wear it a lot, lastly, but as with each nice watch, it was a big pleasure to rediscover it. Hence those pictures. Glad to know that you loved the " 4 S " rule, my friend. Best, Nicolas
They are both superb!
