Up for sale is my vintage Omega Seamaster 300 ref. 165.024, one of the most sought-after references in the original Seamaster 300 lineage. Produced during the late 1960s, the 165.024 is regarded as one of Omega's finest professional dive watches, combining legendary tool-watch heritage with timeless design and exceptional collectability.
This example features the highly desirable no-date "Straight Writing" dial, giving the watch a perfectly balanced, symmetrical appearance. The original matte black dial has aged beautifully, with rich honey-coloured tritium lume throughout the hour markers and broad sword hands. The bezel remains sharp with warm cream numerals that perfectly complement the aged lume, creating the unmistakable vintage character collectors look for.
Fitted on a black leather strap, this Seamaster 300 has an understated, purposeful look that perfectly reflects its professional diving roots.
Brand: Omega
Model: Seamaster 300
Reference: 165.024
Era: Late 1960s
Movement: Omega Calibre 552 automatic
Case Material: Stainless steel
Case Size: Approximately 42mm
Dial: Original matte black "Straight Writing" no-date dial
Crystal: Domed acrylic crystal
Bezel: Black rotating dive bezel with aged luminous triangle
Crown: Screw-down crown
Caseback: Original Hippocampus (Seahorse) engraved Seamaster caseback
Strap: Black leather strap

The watch is in excellent vintage condition with honest wear consistent with its age. The asymmetrical case retains strong proportions with well-defined lyre lugs, while the dial displays beautifully even patina across the tritium markers and hands. The bezel has aged gracefully, with warm ivory numerals that complement the dial perfectly. The Seahorse engraving on the caseback remains crisp, highlighting the watch's originality and careful preservation.
Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description. As with all vintage watches, water resistance cannot be guaranteed due to age.
The no-date Seamaster 300 ref. 165.024 is widely regarded as one of the purest expressions of Omega's vintage dive watch design. Powered by the robust Calibre 552, it was built as a professional instrument and became closely associated with military and commercial diving during the 1960s.
Collectors particularly prize the "Straight Writing" dial for its clean, symmetrical layout and understated elegance. Combined with the iconic 42mm twisted-lug case, domed acrylic crystal, and beautifully aged tritium, the 165.024 has become one of the most desirable vintage Omega sports watches.
Examples retaining attractive original patina, strong cases, and crisp caseback engravings are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making this an outstanding opportunity to own one of Omega's true tool-watch legends.
A timeless vintage diver with exceptional character, history, and unmistakable wrist presence.
Built by time. Worn with character.
