Affectionately nicknamed the “Hummer” by vintage enthusiasts, this distinctive transitional-era tool watch represents a perfect intersection of space-age electronics and robust, professional maritime styling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 41.5mm 316L stainless steel case introduces a wonderfully substantial, tonneau-shaped profile that captures the decade's brutalist, architectural design language. With a compact lug-to-lug footprint of 46mm and a svelte case thickness of 12mm, its short, integrated geometry delivers an incredibly flat, balanced, ergonomic wrist presence despite its commanding visual size. The brushed steel case shoulders flow elegantly into a bidirectional rotating dive bakelite bezel featuring a classic black elapsed-time tracking insert. A signed, fluted screw-in crown pairs with a heavy-duty screw-down case back—deeply embossed with the iconic Seamaster Seahorse medallion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA flush-fitting crystal protects a striking, high-contrast dial layout. Framed by a white minute track, the dial features applied block baton indices and matching luminescent hands, anchored by a vibrant red central sweep-second hand that injects a dynamic pop of athletic colour across the canvas. Balancing daily practicality with visual symmetry, a clean date window sits neatly positioned at the 3 o'clock mark. The defining jewel of this reference is its revolutionary internal engine. Beneath the dial lies the chronometer-certified Tuning Fork Omega Cal. 1250 movement, masterfully built using 12 jewels and licensed Bulova technology. Operating at a constant frequency of 300 Hz, this advanced electronic movement completely bypasses the traditional ticking of standard calibres to deliver a hypnotic, perfectly seamless sweep of the seconds hand. Emitting a gentle, signature humming sound that gives the watch its legendary nickname, this historical movement bridges the gap between pure mechanical soul and electronic accuracy. This rare vintage reference comes paired with an original 20mm stainless steel tapered-link bracelet secured by a signed foldover clasp; it will fit up to a 7.25-inch wrist, plus a generic 20mm strap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478821806460,"sku":"198.0016","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_e639d60a-2a88-415d-bc84-2e0dc7f6a27a.jpg?v=1790011281","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1972-omega-electronic-f300hz-seamaster-diver-41-5mm-198-0016","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
