Omega Lady-Seamaster 29mm Ref 2582.61 Full Set Watch

Q: What is the Omega Lady‑Seamaster Professional 300M Ref. 2582.61?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made ladies’ Seamaster with a 29mm stainless steel case, precise quartz movement and a rare red dial. This example comes on a stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp and is delivered as a Full Set with box, certificate and booklet.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Seamaster Professional was originally rated to 300 metres, but water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless the watch has been freshly serviced, re‑sealed and pressure‑tested by an authorised watchmaker. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any exposure to moisture.

Q: What movement does it use and how accurate is it?
A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement known for reliability and excellent accuracy (typically within seconds per month). Battery life is usually around 2–3 years depending on use; please have a professional confirm and replace the correct cell to preserve the case seals.

Q: How do I set the time (and date if present)?
A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise if it is a screw‑down type. Pull the crown to the last position to set the time, then push in and screw down firmly. Some variants include a date function—if yours has a date window, the first crown position usually quick‑sets the date. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism.

Q: What crystal does it have and will it scratch?
A: Most Seamaster Professional models from this era feature a sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch‑resistant. Exact specification can vary by reference; we can confirm on request. Sapphire can still chip or crack under hard impact, so avoid knocks and abrasive cleaners.

Q: Will the 29mm case suit my wrist and can the bracelet be adjusted?
A: 29mm offers a refined, petite profile ideal for small to medium wrists. This bracelet is currently sized to approximately 16.5cm and includes two extra links. We can size the bracelet for you before dispatch, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability.

Q: How should I care for the red dial and stainless steel case/bracelet?
A: Wipe with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid solvents, perfumes, and harsh chemicals on the dial or case. Keep the watch away from strong magnets, and have gaskets checked periodically if you want to maintain water resistance. For deeper cleaning or polishing, use a qualified watchmaker.

Q: What servicing does a quartz Seamaster require?
A: Replace the battery every 1–3 years and have the seals inspected during battery changes. A full service is typically only needed if issues occur (e.g., timekeeping problems or condensation). If you intend to use it near water, request a pressure test after servicing.

Q: Is this watch authentic and what is included?
A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage pieces and thoroughly inspects every item. This watch is delivered as a Full Set with its original box, certificate and booklet. We also provide a 12‑month guarantee on the watch mechanism for your peace of mind.

Q: Can I fit a strap instead of the bracelet or source extra parts?
A: Many 29mm Seamaster references can accept OEM or quality aftermarket straps that match the correct lug width and end‑link type, but compatibility varies. Contact us for guidance on strap options or sourcing additional links specific to Ref. 2582.61.
