Omega Seamaster 300 Professional 'GoldenEye' Quartz

Overall Condition: Good condition overall. Case and bracelet show wear consistent with age and use. Dial and handset are in great condition.

The Seamaster 300 was Omega's response to the Rolex Submariner upon its introduction in 1957.

Featuring a robust steel case with a 300-meter depth rating, a rotating bezel graduated with dive-timing scales, and a metal bracelet with diver's expansion links, the early Seamaster 300 was not only functional a diver that would go on to see use in Her Majesty's Navy, but is arguably some of the handsomest sports watch designs of the past century.

As it evolved, the Omega Seamaster 300 went on to see numerous evolutionary changes, with nearly innumerable variants in a variety of materials and colorways produced in the past 60 years. This fact alone has made the Seamaster Professional line (as it came to be known) so desirable to a large portion of the collector community — simply because they don't all look exactly the same.

One of the watershed design motifs began in the 1990s with the introduction of blue and black “wave” dials popularized by Pierce Brosnan's 007 in the 1996 Bond film Goldeneye. This design language lives on well after the 90s ended in both modern James Bond-themed limited editions and in the core collection.

The watch that we have here dates to the 1990s and features a twisted lug case design that we all love, with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a unidirectional rotating dive timing bezel with a blue aluminum insert. It houses a fantastic, blue 'wave' dial with evenly patinated tritium indices, a matching 'skeletonized-sword' handset, a date at 3 o'clock, and a robust and good ol' reliable quartz movement.

Paired to a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp that, in our opinion, is aging extremely well. Holding a special place in the hearts of all who grew up playing Goldeneye for Nintendo 64, this piece is modern yet nostalgic all at once - a combination not easily achieved...

...and of course, it packs 'all of the usual refinements' fit for any situation.
