Ive bought and then sold so many of the SM300s 'cos something else came along' that I decided this time to build one and keep it... so I have one being built up for me by a watchmaker and its a keeper... no really... er... ok, I will actually promise this time I will keep it and it will be a daily wear... 😁
..............I can't for a moment or contemplate for a secound to part with my SM300........and if I ever did I'am confident I would just be tasked to get another.....out of sheer love of the watch.
The Omega Seamaster 300 Ref. 166.0324
I really want this watch. And it is kind of different that I'm putting it together. I'm not hung up on the vintage stigma. Everything is omega. Everything is correct. I'm doing it . Little by Little I'm getting these things. I only hope supply doesn't beat me to the finish line.
That's a good looking watch. 👍 Total agreement that it should be put back in production since the 42 mm case could feasibly contain the larger caliber 8500 with some changes.
That was my thought exactly, it wouldn't cannibalise Planet Ocean sales, because the SM300 remake would, like the Speedy feature a hesalite plastic crystal, making it appeal to those inclined towards the classic. It also fills a gap left by the 2254.50 that was quite similar in dial, hands and design. Cal 8500 would be a perfect replacement for the Cal 552, and the Omega mesh is already being put back into use on the PloProf and Planet Ocean.
