Omega Seamaster 300 "WatchCo"
Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848, Omega has built one of the most storied reputations in Swiss watchmaking. The Seamaster 300, introduced in 1957 alongside the Speedmaster and Railmaster as one of Omega's iconic sport watch trio, became one of the most respected professional diving instruments of its era. The "WatchCo" is a chapter in that story unlike any other: WatchCo, a former Omega-authorised Australian service centre, acquired genuine new-old-stock Omega parts — cases, bezels, dials and hands — directly from the manufacture and assembled them into complete watches around vintage Omega movements. The result is a watch with the full aesthetic and material authenticity of the original 1960s Seamaster 300, assembled with brand-new genuine Omega components, and a cult following that has only grown stronger as supply has dwindled.
Reference 166.0324 is a 41 mm stainless steel automatic diver's watch with the distinctive twisted-lug case architecture of the original Seamaster 300. The black dial carries oversized rhomboid luminescent hour indices and matching sword-shaped hands — a handset shared in spirit with the military Submariner references of the same era — with a date window at three o'clock. At its heart beats the Omega Calibre 565, a high-grade vintage automatic movement with quickset date function, running accurately and reliably. The domed acrylic crystal gives the watch the correct period-authentic depth and curvature. The bidirectional rotating dive bezel carries a luminescent insert. The watch is fitted on a stainless steel bracelet.
