This watch is an extremely rare Omega Seamaster ref. ST 14.755-61 issued for the Peruvian Air Force (FAP – Fuerza Aérea del Perú) in July 1963. It is characterized by its special FAP engraving on the caseback.
Furthermore, the dial has turned into a beautiful brown color.
The second hand is a lollipop one which has been fitted by the previous owner for aesthetic reasons. The original hand is provided with the watch.
Further information:
The bezel of the watch has been restored. It is actually extremely rare to find a complete and unrestored bezel on these models as most of them have lost their black inlay part. Nevertheless, this one is very nice and fits perfectly to the watch.

In 1957, Omega introduced a trilogy of professional models: Speedmaster, Railmaster and Seamaster 300.
The Seamaster 300 is a diver’s watch allowing a depth of at least 200 meters. The first version, reference CK 2913, was produced from 1957 to 1961, replaced by CK 14755 with the new caliber 552. The referencing system was changed in 1962 and CK 14755 was renamed ST 165.014 and produced until 1967. In 1963, a new dial with bigger indexes was introduced, but that year also marked the birth of a new asymmetrical case line, to better integrate the crown: this is reference ST 165.024, produced until 1970/1971. In 1968, it was joined by a version with date (reference ST 166.024).
Although the Seamaster 300 was developed and marketed for a professional use (e.g. by COMEX or British Army for instance), its sharp and simple design, as well as its perfect dimensions / proportions (in particular reference ST 165.024) has attracted a much wider audience around the world and its popularity is still growing.
In 1848, Louis Brandt founded a company in La Chaux-de-Fonds which would become Omega. In the 1880s, the Louis Brandt & Fils company moved to its current site in Bienne and in 1894 the caliber Omega was created, which would give its name to the company. Renowned for its precise, innovative and affordable watches, it became the largest supplier of watches to the British Army during World War II. It also became the first company to time the Olympic Games in 1932. Among its range of numerous professional watches, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969.
