Nicolas (amanico) shares his enduring admiration for the Omega Seamaster 300 ST 165.024, a reference he considers essential for any serious Seamaster collector. His post highlights the watch's significant presence and charm, positioning it alongside other iconic Seamaster models like the CK 2913 and the Ploprof. This article delves into the nuances of this beloved vintage diver, enriched by community insights.

That's one I miss a lot. The Seamaster fans should have at least three of them: The CK 2913, this one and the Ploprof. 






This one has a lot of presence and charm. 

Best,

Nicolas

I thought you had one with the big triangle marker at 12 rather than this one.

Hard to choose between pencil and sword hands on these. The combo of big triangle and sword hands is so cool
