Royal Navy’s Vintage Seamaster 300
Posted: January 4th, 2023, 6:41 pm
Italianos, oysters, pilots and others…
not so sure which of the sections, probably none except the others.
And the other in this case is my homage of a RN 1967 Seamaster 300.
Ingredients:
Case Set:
Vietnamese 1:1 (like the ones unscrupulous sellers at ebay present as genuine)
Crystal:
Original hesalite (notice the omega logo stamped at the center of the crystal)
Movement:
Omega cal. 520
Hands:
a mix of proveniences, with age treatment and lume done to match the dial.
Bezel insert:
plexi ring cut and reverse engraved by @Athaya from my vector file (thanks Adrian!) and lume filled, painted, sealed, fitted, sanded and polished by myself.
Dial: I did it with gen specs. Original dial is 27.4mm so I recycled a base plate with three perforations; center hole plus smaller ones at 12 (big triangle) and 6 o’clock.
Lume is a “tritium” mix of luminova, color pigment and silicate sand, engulfed in uv resin (dspiae) for better control of volume and with optimal surface tension for that effect.
Details all there, such as the micro pits in the big triangle and 6 o’clock marker.
Enjoy.
Best,
Marco
