Omega 165.024 Seamaster 300 "WatchCo"

The Omega Seamaster 300 reference 165.024, as assembled by WatchCo, offers collectors a faithful re-creation of one of the most iconic dive watches of the 1960s, blending new-old-stock Omega parts with robust vintage mechanics. This model originally debuted around 1962, part of an era when Omega was pioneering modern, highly functional diver's tools. The WatchCo examples are uniquely assembled post-production using authenticated surplus Omega cases, dials, and hands, paired with period-correct Caliber 552 automatic movements, ensuring the heart of the watch remains true to vintage standards. The 42mm stainless steel case retains the broad, lyre-style lugs and thick rotating bezel, both celebrated among enthusiasts for their presence and durability. The matte black dial with bold luminous markers—crafted to modern luminova standards—delivers superb visibility, evoking the fearless expeditions and professional marine heritage this reference is known for. With a water resistance rated up to 300 meters, it remains one of the most capable examples for practical vintage diving. Widely loved for its historical roots and wearable proportions, the 165.024 WatchCo is an especially appealing portal into the golden age of Omega tool watches, suitable for those who wish for authentic style without the fragility or rarity premiums of wholly original, unrestored pieces. Excellent Condition with European Watch Company leather travel case.
