I think many of us can spend hours looking at old pictures from the NASA archives of the astronauts wearing the various models of the Speedmaster, but are there any comparable pictures of the Seamaster 300 (165.024 / 166.024 / 166.014 ...)?

Does anyone have authentic pictures from those times ready?

Just search for vintage adverts.
Plenty or images from original advertising and catalogues out there.
I have seen stills from films about Royal Navy divers/bomb disposal guys with what looks like 165.024’s on but it’s not very clear.

Oh wow, thanks! Never saw a Marine Chronometer in the wild in those days. I guess SM 300 and Ploprofs are far more common.

Well.. Maybe not a picture of the Seamaster 300 in action underwater.. But I think that Marlon Brando appreciated his Seamaster 300.
Here the interesting article 😀
