SUMMARY

The Seamaster name was introduced in 1948 to celebrate Omega’s 100th anniversary, but the Seamaster 300 line came to light only in 1957. This early Seamaster ref. 14755 presented in steel features a narrowing, thin, straight-lug design, which combined with the taper of the beveled lugs creates a great sense of proportion and stability.

As you would expect from a watch dating back to 1962, it has developed an even patina. The original dive bezel insert showing the 60-minute counter is missing. Nevertheless, a timeless classic that resonates with collectors and lovers of dive watches alike.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
