Q: What is the Jacques Mayol edition of the Seamaster 120M? A: It is a limited-edition Omega Seamaster created to honour free‑diving legend Jacques Mayol. It features a distinctive green dial with a subtle dolphin motif and commemorative Mayol engraving, making it a sought‑after collector’s piece.
Q: How many were made and when was this model released? A: The Seamaster 120M Jacques Mayol mid‑size was produced as a numbered limited edition in 1998. This example is individually numbered 0374/4500.
Q: What are the key specifications of this watch? A: Reference 2506.70; stainless‑steel case and bracelet; 36 mm diameter; automatic Omega calibre 1120 with date; sapphire crystal; green dolphin‑pattern dial. It is described by sellers as a men’s/unisex mid‑size that wears well on a broad range of wrists.
Q: Is the dial really green—what does it look like in person? A: Yes. The dial is an iridescent green that shifts in tone under light, with a repeating dolphin motif across the surface and a framed date at 3 o’clock. The look is sporty yet refined and unique to this Mayol edition.
Q: Can I swim with this vintage Seamaster 120M? A: The model name indicates it was part of the Seamaster 120M line; some period listings also note 10 ATM/100 m. Because this is a vintage watch, water resistance is not guaranteed. We recommend a fresh pressure test and gasket service by a qualified watchmaker before any water exposure—and to avoid swimming until that is done.
Q: Is this considered a men’s or a unisex watch? A: At 36 mm, it is commonly described as men’s/unisex. The versatile size suits many wrist profiles and offers a classic, balanced presence on the wrist.
Q: What wrist size will the bracelet fit as currently set? A: The bracelet is currently sized to approximately 18 cm (about 7.1 in) inner circumference. It can be adjusted by adding or removing links through a watchmaker. Any items included will be listed in the product information section.
Q: What exactly is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown under the product information section on this page. This piece is offered watch‑only unless otherwise stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate and describe condition? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. This watch is graded Very Good, with noted surface scratches on the bezel, case, case back and bracelet. Please review all photos and get in touch if you would like additional close‑ups or a video.
