Seamaster 300m Appraisal

Omega Seamaster Professional 300m/1000ft Diver's Watch

The item is an Omega Seamaster Professional 300m/1000ft diver's watch, presented in what appears to be its original or a suitable presentation box. The watch features a stainless steel case and a matching stainless steel bracelet with a finely brushed finish, indicative of its professional tool watch design. The dial is black with distinctive wave patterns, a signature aesthetic of the Seamaster Professional series from a particular era. It exhibits luminous hour markers in a mix of circular, rectangular bar, and triangular shapes at the cardinal points, providing excellent legibility. The hands are also luminous, with a prominent 'sword' style hour hand and a 'skeleton' style minute hand, characteristic of this model. The seconds hand has a red tip, possibly luminous, and a small luminous dot near the tip. The unidirectional rotating dive bezel is black with silver-colored minute markers for the first 15 minutes and then 10-minute increments, featuring a luminous dot at the 12 o'clock position. The crown and helium escape valve are visible on the right and left sides of the case, respectively. The crystal appears to be sapphire, judging by the clarity and lack of significant scratches visible in the image. Although the precise model reference is not explicitly visible, the 'Automatic Chronometer' text below the Omega logo strongly suggests it is an automatic movement and a certified chronometer, indicating high precision. The condition of the watch appears to be good for its likely age, with some minor signs of wear visible on the bracelet and bezel, consistent with regular use. The presentation box shows some wear on its interior and edges, particularly a reddish stain or scuff mark on the right interior edge, suggesting it has been handled over time. This watch likely dates from the 1990s to early 2000s, given the dial and bezel configuration.
