I am very excited to announce that the time has finally arrived for a book dedicated to the SM300. ‘A Collectors Guide to the Seamaster 300. The Vintage Years 1957 - 1970.’ It will be a printed book, with myself as publisher and co-author in conjunction with our very own Kim @kox, arguably one of the world’s foremost experts on this historic Omega model (could such a book exist without him?) along with input from a small handful of important collectors. Kim and I have completed the initial discussions/concept and are now moving forward, compiling the large amount of information, research, photographs and tables required. In an effort to fill the current void of detailed information on this very important Omega model, we will cover all the vintage SM300 references, sub-references, parts variations and serial numbers from 1957 to 1970 including military variants. We are very happy to make this initial announcement here on Omega Forums, the home of real enthusiasts, collectors, connoisseurs, scholars and neo maxi zoom dweebies!
Congratulations to you both. A complete reference for the vintage Seamaster 300 is long overdue. Perhaps just cut and paste @kox OF posts and you can publish next week? Seriously, those of us who are fortunate enough to own early SM300 variants have longed for THE correct place for answers. Newbies, considering a SM300, have faced major risks in their initial purchases. Finally, all questions will have their answers.
With any luck, good examples won't exceed the cost of the average sedan by the time it comes out. In all seriousness -- good luck fellas! The SM300 is way outside of my wheelhouse as a young watch enthusiast / collector but I imagine that this will be very, very useful to a lot of people.
Is this going to be a limited edition instagram launch too? If its only 300 copies i'll pre order number 300 please. Thanks.
Fantastic gentlemen! Glad it’s coming from you before someone else filled the vacuum. Very happy to hear this
and @kox of course as well, I really appreciated especially one of your threads..that one..that very sophisticated and uncovering one...would even go so far to say that this is a foundation to this place here.
