A truly incredible example of a 1960s Omega Seamaster 300 divers "Big crown" wristwatch reference 166.024 with original black date window.
The lyre lugs case is preserved in excellent condition with some light wearing marks to the caseback and sides of the case. It has previously been polished but retains good shape.
The dial is the spectacle here; with one of the nicest deep pumpkin patina I have ever seen on a watch, let alone this model, which is highly uncommon to find. Even throughout the grade and hands, it's just stunning.
The original B2 Bakelite bezel is in lovely shape with equally nice patina formed, and one crack at 12 but overall lovely condition.
This is truly one of the best 166.024's i've seen out there.
