[Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/XpajzoH) Greetings, Up for sale is this super cool vintage Omega Seamaster f300 "tuning fork". 36mm diameter w/o crown, 19mm lug width, 41mm end to end. Dial is a blue-gray, with subtle vertical texturing. Service history unknown, but it is running smoothly (with a gorgeous sweeping second hand), battery was just replaced, and it keeps excellent time. Signed caseback and crown. Will include four extra 19mm straps, as pictured. [This site](https://electric-watches.co.uk/makers/omega/omega-f300-tuning-fork/omega-f300-seamaster/) has a good writeup of the tuning fork movement and models. It gets its name from the characteristic hum that can be heard if you hold the watch to your ear. A precursor to quartz, the tuning fork movement is perhaps most famous from the Bulova Accutron. The ESA 9162 movement in this watch is the “Rolls Royce” of tuning fork movements, designed by Max Hetzel, who had previously worked for Bulova. Asking **$850** shipped, via Venmo or paypal F&F, or happy to meet F2F in Boston area.

	Established:	1848
	Website:	https://www.omegawatches.com/
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
