If you browse the websites of various vintage dealers, you’ll see that classic watches from the likes of Rolex and Omega are selling for even more than their modern-day equivalents. Whilst that might seem quite illogical, it really is unsurprising when you think about just how scarce good examples of these watches are becoming. After all, by now many are over half a century old. Of course, one such collectible watch is the Omega Seamaster 300. In particular, the 2nd generation Seamaster 300, which was introduced in 1964 and which would be manufactured until 1970. This model would become one of Omega’s most iconic, and it was even issued to British Royal Navy divers. As such, it's hardly surprising that this is such a desirable model today. It has everything a vintage collector could want. Not only is it a really beautiful looking watch, but it was made by one of the most well-known Swiss brands and has a history of usage by the military.
