It is topped with a rare original black painted dial with luminescent arrow indexes and large 3, 6, 9 Arabic numerals, chrome plated small arrow hands topped with a super rare large "lollypop" center sweep secondhand. This is a great looking watch and a super rare model in original untouched condition. In 1957, Omega released the Seamaster 300 model, which together with the Speedmaster and the Railmaster, was dubbed by watch enthusiasts as the “Holy Trinity” of professional-grade wristwatches. Although the Seamaster 300 was not Omega’s first dive watch model, it was the first true professional dive watch. It received an official water resistance rating of 200 meters - the maximum depth to which the company could test its timepieces back then. As with the other two references, the Seamaster 300 features the rare and attractive broad arrow hour hand, giving it an extremely recognizable look which has become highly coveted amongst watch enthusiasts around the world. The broad hands allow for high legibility in all conditions, and the revolving bezel was specially designed to aid with decompression time.
