1968 OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 Vintage Mens Stainless Steel Divers Watch - Ref. 166.024
"Holy Grail" Omega - Fully Omega - 1 Year Warranty For the serious Omega connoisseur, few things are more exciting than finding an example of one of the company's much sought after and very elusive models... Today's offering showcases this very rare ref. 166.024 Seamaster 300 diver's watches with bakelite bezel. It is often considered one of the “Holy Grail” watches by many Omega collectors. We were fortunate to acquire it with all of its original Omega parts. The only part that has previously been replaced is the crystal, which is a genuine and correct Omega replacement, which is not easy to find for this watch. All hands, the Omega screwed down crown, bakelite bezel, and dial are all original to the watch. Its case presents in excellent condition with light remnants of wear and not overly polished. Its dial, which was poorly redone when we acquired it, has been freshly sympathetically restored by the leading dial expert in North America. The luminous glows brightly. Its wonderful bakelite bezel is in untouched condition. One of our Master Watchmakers has just freshly serviced the movement. It is keeping accurate time. We have also tested the watch on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn. For the finishing touch, we have installed a new crocodile strap and aftermarket Omega style buckle. It could also be equipped with the brand new vintage style distressed leather strap shown in the photo of the watch on the wrist if you would like, or we can order a NATO strap for it depending on the style you're looking for. Also included with the sale are the two black straps that fit it that are pictured. Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
