CASE & CASEBACK: Large and heavy 41mm wide (not including crown) x 46mm long x 12mm tall curved tonneau steel case is quite clean and unpolished with all edges and bevels sharp and the original satin finish present. There are some minor scratches and one nick on the top right side--still easily Excellent vintage condition for a 40-year-old tool watch. The 4 grub screws beneath the lugs, which I have to admit are a mystery to me, are present and in good condition. The outer caseback shows slightly more wear with some tool marks/scratches but the Seamaster symbol is very crisp--externally Very Good cosmetic condition. The inner caseback has no corrosion and shows all the correct original Omega nomenclature of the period, including the proper reference number and “movement licensed from Bulova/ESA acknowledgement.”

DIAL & HANDS: Near Mint original matte black dial with only the most minor signs of aging visible under a loupe. Framed-in-red Omega logo, framed date at "3" and all original lume bars and white dial text and hash marks are present. The correct white-highlighted luminous hour and minute hands are also Near Mint with minimal signs of age, as is the very smoothly rotating red baton sweep seconds hand. This is a great looking original black dial that really pops and is ultra-legible at a glance.

CROWN: Original signed Omega screw down crown is Excellent cosmetically with light wear. The crown screws down tightly to the case and pulls out to the quickset date and hacking time-setting position as it should. The cool thing about the quickset date on this watch is that you can set it in both directions and without interrupting the timekeeping.

CRYSTAL: Flat mineral crystal sits correctly flush to the bezel and is Excellent+ to Near Mint with some very small and hard to see scratches visible under a loupe.

BEZEL: Original thick ratcheting bidirectional rotating elapsed time bezel is exceptionally tight and clean with sharp, well defined knurling--easily Excellent+. The original black & silver acrylic inlay is also very clean with only one or two small marks, likewise Excellent+ condition, and its luminous "12" triangle is still present with minor signs of aging

MOVEMENT: Legendary Omega cal. 1260 12-jewel tuning fork movement with a 36 million serial number (ca. 1973) has just been cleaned and lubricated with a new battery installed. Therefore, the watch is running well and keeping good time with proper date advancement. Guaranteed for 6-months of normal, non-abusive use.

BRACELET: While the clasp is generic the heavy solid link stainless steel tapered bracelet itself seems as if it would have to be original to the watch due to the fitted integrated design. It is very tight with 13 total links and is in Excellent+ to Near Mint condition with only minor signs of use. What I assume to be an unsigned replacement stainless clasp assembly is super tight and secure. At it's longest adjustment it should fit a 7.5" wrist.

I make NO guarantees for the water resistance of this watch in any way, shape or form. Have it tested if you want to use it as a diver or for any other aquatic activities.

This great Vintage Omega Seamaster f300 120m is offered with a 3-day inspection period from the date of receipt and may be returned for a full refund less any shipping costs incurred by the buyer. This refund is unconditional and once I get the watch back in exactly the same condition as it was sent to you, your money will be refunded. Of course, once the 3 days are over the sale will be considered FINAL.
