Narrative:

Location: bwz 290 degree radial 30 NM. As captain and PF, assigned to climb to 17000 ft. I was being vectored and anticipating intercepting the flight plan routing. I missed the 1000 ft callout prior to leveling off and heard the altitude alert go off at 17300 ft. I immediately corrected to 17000 ft. I told center that I had overshot the altitude and asked if it created any problem. He said no and something to effect that he was about to give me a climb, anyway. I know not to be distracted during the 1000 ft prior to leveloff and it was reinforced today. In the future I will be more careful. It was entirely my responsibility.

Title: A CLBING B727 OVERSHOT ITS ASSIGNED ALT WHEN THE CAPT DOESN'T HEAR THE 1000 FT CALL.

Narrative: LOCATION: BWZ 290 DEG RADIAL 30 NM. AS CAPT AND PF, ASSIGNED TO CLB TO 17000 FT. I WAS BEING VECTORED AND ANTICIPATING INTERCEPTING THE FLT PLAN ROUTING. I MISSED THE 1000 FT CALLOUT PRIOR TO LEVELING OFF AND HEARD THE ALT ALERT GO OFF AT 17300 FT. I IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED TO 17000 FT. I TOLD CTR THAT I HAD OVERSHOT THE ALT AND ASKED IF IT CREATED ANY PROB. HE SAID NO AND SOMETHING TO EFFECT THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO GIVE ME A CLB, ANYWAY. I KNOW NOT TO BE DISTRACTED DURING THE 1000 FT PRIOR TO LEVELOFF AND IT WAS REINFORCED TODAY. IN THE FUTURE I WILL BE MORE CAREFUL. IT WAS ENTIRELY MY RESPONSIBILITY.
