Q: What size is this Omega Seamaster, and how does it wear?
A: This watch has a 36 mm case, giving it a classic, compact fit that suits those who prefer a neater wrist presence. This specific bracelet fits a 17 cm wrist or smaller, so it is especially well suited to small to medium wrist sizes.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This is a quartz model powered by Omega calibre 1538. That means it runs on a battery rather than self-winding movement, and it is valued for dependable, low-maintenance everyday accuracy.

Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Omega lists the battery life for this reference at around 42 months, though actual life can vary with use and age. When the battery is nearly exhausted, Omega quartz watches typically show an end-of-life signal where the seconds hand starts jumping in 4-second steps.

Q: Is this watch water resistant?
A: The Seamaster 120m was originally rated to 120 metres. However, as this is a vintage watch from 1996, we recommend treating water exposure cautiously unless the watch has been recently pressure tested, as seals and gaskets can age over time.

Q: What materials and features does this watch have?
A: This reference is made in stainless steel with a blue dial, a steel bracelet, a date display, and a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It offers the sporty Seamaster look in a more refined mid-size format.

Q: What condition is this specific watch in?
A: This piece is listed in Very Good Condition overall. Please note there are scratches on the case and bracelet, while the internal condition is noted as good. We recommend reviewing all product images carefully for the best view of its current cosmetic state.

Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or extra accessories?
A: No. According to the product information, this watch comes with no accessories. If an accessory is not listed in the product information, it should not be expected to be included.

Q: Is the 36 mm size too small for a men’s watch?
A: Not at all. Many collectors specifically like 36 mm Seamasters for their balanced, vintage-inspired proportions. It is a versatile size that can feel elegant, understated, and very comfortable for daily wear.

Q: How should I care for a vintage quartz Omega watch?
A: For best long-term care, avoid impacts, chemicals, and unnecessary water exposure. It is wise to have the water resistance checked periodically and to replace the battery promptly once the end-of-life signal appears, helping protect the movement from possible battery leakage.
