70's Seamster 300 *PIC*

Hi, I have just purchased a vintage Seamaster (see picture) and i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give me some info. I got the watch in virtually NOS condition from a friend who used to dive and it was his spare watch, i did some work for him and he gave me the watch as payment. The crown does not seem to screw in (i suppose screw crowns were uncommon in those days), is this a problem with the watch or is it designed that way? Secondly, does the "300" on the dial refer to a water resistance rating (300FT or meters) or is it simply the name of the watch. Oh and any general movement info etc would be greatly appriciated. I just cant bear to remove the back (it's never been opened!) to take a peak at the movement although i will probably get it serviced before i start wearing it. Thank-you in advance for any information :)
