Phillips is proud to offer this exceptional, fresh-to-market, Seamaster 300, reference CK2913-3 from 1959. A remarkable watch in so many ways, it is one of the best-preserved examples of an early Seamster 300 to ever surface. Furthermore, sharp-eyed connoisseurs will immediately notice a highly coveted and rarely seen detail on the dial at 12 o’clock – a prominent retailer signature of the Zurich-based boutique, Meister.

The present Seamaster 300 stands out not only for the presence of its original, iconic “Broad Arrow” hands, but also to its stunning, nearly “new-old-stock” overall condition. The Meister-signed dial is pristine, with original luminous material that has aged to a strong mocha hue. The presence of two original bracelets, including a rarely seen Omega "bamboo" bracelet, - both produced in 1959 as stamped on their clasps – further enhances the desirability and originality of this example. Acquired by the consignor over 25 years ago directly from the original owner, who kept it unworn in a drawer since its original purchase with these two bracelets. Fully correct, it features a flawless revolving bezel still retaining its original luminous dot, and outstandingly crisp engravings to the case back.

Considering the challenge of finding well-preserved vintage, professional timepieces, it is very possible that a watch of this remarkable originality, quality, and condition will take decades to reappear on the market, making this a rare opportunity for the most discerning and demanding collector.
