Omega Seamaster 300
Why We Love It Like its bretheren, the Speedmaster and the Railmaster, the Seamaster was constantly evolving in its early years, with cosmetic tweaks and new subreferences appearing virtually every year. Combined with the batch manufacturing of the era, there are a variety of configurations and subtle changes for contemporary collectors to hone in on.Also of note is the bezel. For those familiar with Seamaster 300s, the name 'Aldo' is well-known. For years, 'Aldo' bezels have been prized for their incredibly precise restoration of the rarely intact Bakelite inserts. Where factory-original SM 300 bezels can trade for more that $4,000 on the open market, 'Aldo' bezels command several thousands owing to their incredible fidelity to the originals and their acceptance among Omega collectors.
