Year - 1967

Movement - Calibre 552 (automatic, central sweep-second hand)
Movement Serial - 24.727688

Original Flatlink Bracelet ref. 1039 with 516 Endlinks - No. 13 stamped 1 68
I hazard a guess that this is one of, if not the best example of the Reference 165.024 Seamaster 300 available on the market today (aside from Military examples). Replete with original crystal (which shows some crazing, and the correct deeply recessed Omega logo); flatfoot crown; totally intact original bakelite bezel; original dial and hands which have aged in absolute unison; a case with the still visible brushing on the sides and sharp polished section; deep and clearly unpolished caseback engraving. Omega Archive extract confirms production late 1967
This remarkable example came from the original owner, who wore sparingly in the early years, and was consequently tucked away until it found its way to Mann About Time
Running strong and keeping exceptional time, I very much doubt a finer example will be found for some time - a collectors item worthy of a custodian from enthusiast to museum alike

What is everyone saying?
I recently had the pleasure of buying a watch from Robin, a vintage watch dealer who truly stands out amongst the crowd. His exceptional communication and genuine passion for watches made the entire experience delightful from start to finish. Robin is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a wonderful person to chat with, and was very much willing to go the extra mile at all times. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable watch-buying experience - I'll certainly be back again in the future...!
I had a great experience buying a watch from Robin @ Mann about time.
Robin really facilitated my purchase journey, and created a climate of trust with his great knowledge of watches, in particular Rolex and Guilt GMT, but also with his high level of professionalism.
I would buy another watch from him with confidence.
Robin Mann … how to make this brief: First, an experienced and discriminating curator with a superb eye for quality, condition, character, artfulness and fine detail. Next, an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Then, presentation, packaging, and professionalism makes his entire exchange process simply … perfect.
Robin has created the standard for the vintage watch experience ….. cannot wait for the next one. Oh, and last, but not least … a really nice guy.
Thank you, Robin.
Ive known Robin for many years now , from when he was an art dealer, and when he told me that he’s started selling vintage watches, I knew I was in biiiiiiiig trouble. A vintage watch dealer that you can trust could only mean 1 thing: my bank balance would start dwindling and I was about to embark on an exhilarating ride collecting some of the most iconic vintage timepieces- His taste for chronographs is impeccable , his eye for discovering authentic pieces is truly astouding and his prices are more than fair : Within 2 years Robin’s managed to source 3 grail watches for me; a vintage sub, Pepsi gmt, and a 1016 explorer. He’s the best vintage watch dealer in the game and I cant recommend him highly enough!
