Story of an Icon: Omega Seamaster 300 History
Ғылым және технология
In this video, I would like to discuss the relatively short-lived but truly legendary Seamaster 300 from its inception in 1957 to its end in 1969. This runs from the classic CK 2913 with broadarrow hands to the famous military 165.024.

Great video. Thanks for showing the watches, not your face talking to us. Most other watch channels show the hosts 90% of the time, and views of the watch 10%.
Wonderful video as always, Armand! Keep up the great work.
A very well researched video. Thank you for the useful information.
Great informative video as always. A real diving icon.
Great video! Thank you so much for creating this. This is truly one of the most stunning watches ever designed.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. There’s no better watch segment on the web right now.,
Thanks Armand. I learned a lot in this video. --Michael
Great video…clearly, lots of research went into it…thank you!
I having been considering a Seamaster for some time now , this really help my understanding. Excellent video , simply the best person doing reviews and history of all brands.
The video is awesome! Great amount of history & horology information. I felt myself on a video lecture and that was a pleasant feeling. Keep it up, please.
Finally! Someone who provides all the facts in detail and can put a good vid together!! What a fantastic video! I enjoyed every minute of that and feel better off for watching in! You mentioned things I didn’t know about these. Wonderful.Thank you! 👌👌👌
Thank you Armand, great video!
Amazing. Thanks. I just got a pre-owned 2017 release 1957 that you mentioned as the first diver near the beginning of your clip. I wish I could have watched your video beforehand. This seamaster 300 looks smaller visually than expected.
Very informative and very well done with great examples!
Thanks for this comprehensible video! Love my Trilogy Seamaster! Best of both worlds!
Awesome, dude. I enjoyed that.
Great info of my favorite watch.
Amazing video! It was like a history lesson for me and i’m super grateful that you shared your research with us. Is there another video with the following years? Cheers!

+ MrGreenthumb888: Thank you for your kind words! Take a look at our more recent videos or perhaps our complete history of dive watches.
Great video sir. Love it. Cheers
Thank you for the very informative video.
Very informative and entertaining; thanks!
I’ve got the trilogy seamaster coming in tomorrow so it’s amazing to see the evolution
Just watch this amazing video I’ve always love omega especially the mighty seamaster kind regards terry
Excellent video!
Thanks looking for a new reissue version with the coaxial 8400 movement
Congratulations. Your videos are great entertainment, as well as informative. 1967 with triangle for me. Being a greedy person I would have loved a lollypop as well.
wonderful video , has all facts , keep it up
Great video ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I learned a lot! thanks
Very interesting indeed!
A dive bezel has absolutely nothing to do with how much air a diver has left. Dive bezels allow divers to know how long they can safely stay at a depth without getting the bends (decompression illness)!

You get the bends from accending to fast.
Armand i commend you for this video and im eagerly looking forward to your assesment on the Rolex Datejust on these icon series
Incredible video. So how and when did Omega get around the Rolex patent for a screwdown crown? Did they have to wait for the patent to expire before using one or did they find a way around the patent?
I just got my 210.30(the blue one blue one 2018) and I just can't stop looking at it. I keep the steel bracelet off and keep the Nato bands on it to preserve it, its good thing too, since 2 weeks of owning it I've already knocked the case around several times and marred the bezel a bit lol. I love this thing, and I wasn't really aware at the time that it had a big history behind it and it is widely regarded as a better watch(for the money) than the Rolex Sub...nothing but good things to say from me...though I'm a bit surprised I was able to scratch the piece already. I would have thought these high end watches used harder steel, but whatever, it adds character.
Please do a "story of an icon" on the laters seamasters planet ocean, 300m and aqua terra Love the vids Greetings from The Netherlands
Wonderful discovery due to the KZread algorithm gods... Love the Seamaster and the detail in your video. But using Over and Out... You should be thrashed with a damp NATO strap.
Wish they would release a date version alla the original 300.
Who is giving this video a thumbs down? I mean, how can you not like this video?

Rolex owners with buyer's remorse. Lol
73m down would be a bit over 8 atmospheres as you have to account for the atmospheric pressure at sea level of 1. Awesome video though, very informative.

I know I'm 3 years late; however, the internal pressure of a watch is 1 atmosphere. Therefore, delta P at sea level = 0
I like the oldest Seamaster - best value vintage dress watch

The Seamaster has so.much.more variety and so much better history than the submariner imo
Re-asking on this video because its new and may get a response.Where can someone buy a Grand Seiko online? I don't live anywhere near a dealer and I also don't want to get ripped off buying from the wrong website.

+TeensierPython: Thank you for the question, the answer to this is very much dependant upon where you live. However, in Britain, I would recommend Jura Watches who are the official retailer for the area.

I haven't purchased from them personally, but most consider SeiyaJapan.com the best direct source.

TeensierPython - My idea would be if you live in Britain is to go to London as there's a new seiko boutique opened recently. Have a long weekend in the greatest capital in the world picking up your wonderful GS and wearing it at a nice restaurant that evening. Just a thought.

Thanks for all the replies. Don’t live in Britain, but funny enough I just got a job offer 30min north of London. I currently live in the US. Minnesota.
Wow taxing watches based on the number of gems... Who lobbied for the tax?
The Invicta Sea Hunter is more tasteful in design.
Damn Omega Seamaster has such a rocky sad beginning story 🤣, hence the reason why Rolex is king 💪🏽. Just bought my Omega Seamaster 300, love it but I’m still Rolex fanboy all the way!
"Far far" is becoming an Armandism like the word effectively used to be! Just messing with you. Great video! It shows just how many variations (a lot of them!) have existed.
