Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 30mm 2010 Quartz Watch

Q: Is this Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra automatic or quartz?
A: This is a quartz model powered by Omega calibre 4561, so it runs on a battery rather than wrist motion. It does not need daily winding, which makes it especially practical for regular wear or for a collection that is rotated.

Q: What year is this watch from?
A: This particular piece is dated to 2010. It belongs to Omega’s earlier Aqua Terra 150M quartz generation and has the compact 30 mm case size that many buyers look for in a refined everyday watch.

Q: What are the key design details of this reference?
A: This watch features a 30 mm stainless steel case and bracelet, a silvery teak-pattern dial, a date window at 3 o’clock and a sapphire crystal. The design balances sporty Seamaster practicality with a clean, dressier look.

Q: Is the 30 mm size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: Yes. A 30 mm Aqua Terra generally suits slimmer wrists very well and offers a neat, elegant fit. This particular bracelet has an approximate perimeter of 15.5 cm, so that is a useful guide when considering fit.

Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: The Aqua Terra line for this reference is rated to 150 metres and uses a screw-in crown, giving it strong everyday water resistance. However, because this is a pre-owned watch, we recommend having the water resistance checked before regular swimming and making sure the crown is fully secured.

Q: How often will the battery need replacing or servicing?
A: Quartz Omega watches are designed for low-maintenance wear. Battery life varies depending on use, and the movement includes an end-of-battery-life indicator. For ongoing care, Omega also recommends periodic servicing and annual water-resistance checks.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This piece is listed in good condition overall, with visible marks and scratches to the bezel, case and bracelet. As with all pre-owned watches, we recommend reviewing the product images carefully for the most accurate impression of cosmetic wear.

Q: Does it come with its original box, papers or other product information?
A: No. This watch is listed with no product information included. If an item is not stated on the product page, it should be considered not included.

Q: How do you authenticate this watch?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully inspected before sale. We assess details such as materials, finishing, engravings, reference information and overall construction so you can shop with confidence in its authenticity.
