Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Diver Automatic Watch

This is a luxury stainless steel wristwatch featuring a white dial with gold-tone applied hour markers and skeletonized hands. The watch is styled after the iconic Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Diver series. It features a rotating diver's bezel with a scalloped edge and a helium escape valve located at the 10 o'clock position. The dial displays the Omega logo, 'Seamaster', 'AUTOMATIC', and '300m/1000ft' depth rating, along with a date window at 3 o'clock. The construction appears to be a mix of brushed and polished steel surfaces. Notable condition issues include significant wear to the bezel insert, which shows heavy scratching and loss of the original finish, particularly on the gold-toned scalloped edges. The case and bracelet also exhibit numerous surface scratches and grime consistent with age and heavy use. The bracelet features a classic multi-link design with integrated end-links. The overall aesthetic suggests a production period from the 1990s or early 2000s, modeled after the 'Bond' watch era, though the specific color combination and finishing details require authentication to confirm genuine manufacture versus an aftermarket modification or homage.

Upon visual examination of this Omega Seamaster Professional 300M, I have identified it as a reference likely dating from the late 1990s. The watch features the signature helium escape valve and scalloped bezel characteristic of the 'Bond' era. The condition is graded as 'Fair' to 'Good' due to significant honest wear. There is notable oxidation and plating loss on the gold-toned scalloped edges of the bezel, and the steel components show heavy micro-scratching throughout the case and bracelet. The white 'wave' dial appears well-preserved, though the lume on the skeletonized hands shows signs of aging. Market demand for neo-vintage Seamasters remains strong, particularly for unique white/gold configurations; however, the lack of original box/papers and the current cosmetic condition place this at the lower end of the market spectrum compared to mint examples. Limitations: This appraisal is based solely on visual inspection of the provided description and images. I cannot verify the movement's functionality, timing accuracy, or the caliber's authenticity (e.g., Calibre 1120). To confirm a definitive valuation and authenticity, a physical inspection is required to check the serial number engraving on the underside of the 7 o'clock lug, verify the movement's finishing and serial match, and conduct a pressure test for water resistance. Provenance documentation or a service history from an authorized Omega center would significantly enhance the item's marketability.
