Omega "Automatic Seamaster 300", Movement No. 26947067, Ref. 166.024, Cal. 565/1, 41 mm, circa 1968
A diver's attractive automatic vintage wristwatch with date, so called "Big Triangle"
Case: steel, screw back, screwed crown, bidirectional rotating Bakelite bezel. Dial: black.
This special timepiece reference 166.024 is particularly sought-after by collectors because of its unusual dial design. The "Big Triangle" or "Big T" stands out with a large triangle at 12 o’clock.
The "Automatic Seamaster 300" is Omega’s answer to the diver’s wristwatches that were launched by the other brands in the late 1960s: Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms, the Rolex Submariner and the Aquatimer by IWC.
With the perfectly proportioned 41 mm steel case with gently twisted lugs, a revolving outer bakelite bezel, a waterproof crown and an inky black dial with luminous indices and plongeur hands, the Omega Seamaster 300 looks simply magnificent, in both version with or without the date.
