There are (at least) a couple of modern Seamasters with a rail track dial, and they seem to be marketed as heritage versions, but I haven't seen any vintage Seamasters with this style. Am I just missing them? I'd love to find something around 36mm.

Omega Seamaster 1948 London 2012 Limited Edition:

There are plenty of references pre Seamaster that have rail track dial, Suverän and 2383 (the non Swedish branded reference) is two I can think of right away in that size.

They can be found in various colours, for example (stolen pictures)

Also the first automatic references had rail track dials, but this reference is the smaller version though:

They do exist - pic from @Melhadary. I don't recall seeing any jumbo versions though...this would be a 34mm

Thanks for that. I am looking for a genuine Seamaster (not pre Seamaster), but 34mm would be fine. I'll continue to keep looking.

Thanks for the info. I have seen the Suveräns and similar, but I'm looking specifically for a Seamaster.

Yes, here it is, SM 2576, cal 342 rail track waffle dial with rose gold markers, 34mm as @kyle L mentioned 👍 Don’t recall running into any larger versions with rail tracks either, not Seamasters anyways. This was quite the rare find for me, and fits well on small wrists.

Seamaster 600 with railtrack dial.

That would be perfect. I'll keep on the lookout for others like it. And, of course, if you ever get bored with it and want to sell, ... 😀

Unfortunately I don’t expect to be selling it any tile soon and they’re quite hard to come by. I’ve been able to find around 16-18 known examples by scouring Google, forums and Instagram.

If I come across another I’ll let you know.

Ref 2519, no name Seamaster in 36mm, recently picked up.

The closest in dial layout to 2012 London edition that I have seen is a mint ref 2518 from a member here, it s 34mm watch though.
