·Is this structure common on a SM30? I have not seen many others!
Common? No, but it isn't exactly rare either. There were several variations of dial patterns on Seamasters and Seamaster Devilles in the 60's.

Thanks. I do not expect anything made by Omega for their "common" line-ups to be rare.
I do like a structured dial Good to hear there are more to look for!😎

Quadrant dials on the SMDV…..
…..and tuxedo dials on Seamasters ( alam has one ) are really cool.

·Structured/linen dial cal 269 Seamaster 30 ref 125.003.
Let's see what lurks underneath the scratched crystal. Looks promising?!
😀
Hey Anders, I just found these pics of one I owned....
after seeing yours I wish I hadn't sold it now! 😬
I just noticed something....look at the position of your hands and mine....😲 That's fairly improbable!

The "hands" position is freaky!🤩
I notice that your caseback states 125.007. Mine says 125.003 ?!
They look very similar, but I see the lugs are slightly different? If not brothers, at least close cousins!
👍

·Just took potluck on my first kontiki...know absolutely zero about these! Caliber 1489k.
The caseback medallion is reminiscent of connies. I love the grey teal dial and gay freres bracelet design 😀

The KonTiki model was made to commemorate my countryman Thor Heyerdahl´s adventurous journey across the South Pacific in a balsa raft back in 1949. Eterna made a contribution to this expedition, and as a result used it for what it was worth in terms of marketing of their sports watches.
Cal 1489K is a direct predecessor to the ETA2892. By many, watchmakers in particular, regarded as one of the finest, most accurate and robust automatic calibres ever designed.
The medallion on the back is showing Mr. Heyerdahl´s raft and is made from solid 18K gold. They tend to be very worn, unlike yours👍!
I had mine service a short while ago. The full service blog can be found in this link.
Love these watches. Fantastic value for money as well. 🥰

·Yes, rare and post ww2 Omega anything shouldn't be used in the same sentence (save for proplofs and early speed masters and the like).
But, I do feel like the quadrant dial is not often seen in these SMDV's. I purchased this particular watch from your advice even though you don't realize it...hahaha. This one came out of the private collection of a superWIS from Connecticut, USA.
Thank you, guys.
I feel like my Omega learning curve resembles a hockey stick just from sitting back and paying attention to the sage advice of some serious Omega collectors.

·It´s been quite a while since I´ve added to my small clock collection so I´m happy to have just received this one.
Dating to around 1930 and powered by the 8 day calibre 59-8D which is to be found in the majority of Omega clocks from this period.
The dial is in good shape and has a nice spiralling engine turned effect which is also quite typical of the 1920s-30s.

·Picked up this one at a local auction, it will serve as the summer beater when I'm doing handyman work.
It's a C star. 😉
