A classic vintage Omega Seamaster 300 powered by the reliable Caliber 565 automatic movement. Features a black dial with warm, aged patina on the indices and hands, paired with a black bezel with luminous markers. Case back is signed "Omega Watch Co. Swiss" with a visible serial number.

Condition & Functionality: Fully functional and shows signs of normal wear consistent with its age, including light case wear. The crystal is clear with no major damage, and the date function operates correctly.

Lume & Dial Details: -UV / Blacklight Response: Under blacklight inspection, the luminous material behaves as expected for aged tritium. -Hands & Indices: Upon removal of the UV light source, the hands retain a glow longer than the dial markers. This variance suggests the hands may have been relumed or replaced during a past service. -While blacklight photos are showcased for full transparency, there are no explicit claims regarding the exact chemical composition of the luminous material.

Originality & Authenticity Disclosure: Given the nature of vintage watches and the absence of a past service history over the decades, exact originality of every individual component cannot be guaranteed.

Movement: Omega caliber 565, automatic, clean and running well. Visible upon opening the case back.

Strap: Fitted with an aftermarket brown crocodile-embossed leather strap and a steel buckle.

Approximate Specifications: Case Diameter: 41 mm (excluding crown) Lug Width: 20 mm Case Thickness: 13 mm Max Wrist Size: ~7.5 - 8.0 inches
