Great watch & pics Jon Maybe you could give us a little info on your watch (how long you have had it, etc.) I love the 300, Omega did good with that one, perhaps that is why the PO and 2254.50 look so similar to that one. |

Jon, I'd say it's THE best dive watch Omega ever made, and as far as I know, the only military issued one.
This is from Padi's post about Royal Navy issued dive watches:
) Omega Seamaster 300
Similar to the Rolex (5513 and 5517), with all steel case and water resistance of 200m. This watch was basically the civilian model of the Seamaster 300, with subsequent modifications made after they left the Omega factory. The watches were delivered to the MOD’s UK agent (generally Goldsmiths) where modifications were then made. These included the brazing of fixed bars onto the case, circle T added to the dial (not always the case, as MOD conversion work is rarely consistent), and the case-back engraved with the stores numbers as per the Rolex above. The dials also came in a big triangle version IE a large triangle of luminous material at the 12 o’clock marker.
Great pics of a great watch Jon!
Cheers,
Bruce
