The Omega Seamaster 300 Ref. CK14755-62 is one of the most collectible dive watches of the early 1960s, bridging the tool-watch functionality of Omega’s military contracts with the elegance of civilian production. This example is extraordinary not only for its originality but also for its incredible full set, a near-impossible find for a watch of this age.
The watch is powered by the automatic Calibre 552, housed in a 39mm stainless steel case. Its black small-triangle dial is fitted with little broad arrow minute hands, a defining feature of this transitional generation. The piece retains its original Omega-engraved acrylic crystal and highly desirable original Bakelite bezel, both rare survivors given their fragile nature.
Perhaps most impressively, it is fitted to the seldom-seen Omega 7912 bracelet with No. 16 end links, an iconic bracelet that is itself a collector’s item.
The provenance here is remarkable: the watch comes with its original red Omega box, original guarantee papers dated 1964 from W.H. Perry, the original sales documentation, and even a service record from 1967 including the components replaced at the time—such as the crown, with the original crown still included. Note on the service documents how it mentions the small damage on the Bakelite bezel, the client asked this not to be changed. Thank you to the original owner for this!
