The Seamaster 300 line was Omega's answer to the Rolex Submariner when it was introduced in 1957.
With robust steel cases capable of withstanding depths of up to 300 metres, a rotating bezel with dive time scales and a metal bracelet with diver’s extensions, the early Seamaster 300s were not only functional diving instruments used by Her Majesty’s Navy, but also one of the most eye-catching sports watch designs of the last century.
Over time, the Omega Seamaster 300 has undergone numerous evolutionary changes, resulting in nearly countless variations in a wide range of materials and color combinations over the past 60 years. This diversity has made the Seamaster Professional line (as it has come to be known) more desirable to a large portion of the collector community than its Rolex counterparts, simply because they are not all the same.
One of the most revolutionary design motifs began in the 1990s with the introduction of blue dials and bezels, popularized by Pierce Brosnan as 007 in the 1996 Bond film,GoldenEye. This design language continued to be used well into the 1990s, appearing in both modern James Bond-themed limited editions and the main collection.
This particular model, Reference 210.32. 42.20. 03.001, features the classic 42mm twisted lug case design, a helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, a fluted bezel with a green ceramic insert, and a wavy luminous green ceramic dial with matching skeleton sword hands. The model comes with two original bracelets: one in green rubber with a signed steel pin buckle, and the second in stainless steel, and is powered by Omega’s Calibre 8800 Master Chronometer automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
