Q: What size is this Omega Seamaster?
A: This listing is for the 36 mm midsize Omega Seamaster Diver 300 from 1998. It offers the classic Diver 300 look in a more compact, versatile format that many collectors like for daily wear.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?

Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Omega lists an approximate battery life of around 42 months for calibre 1538, although actual battery life can vary depending on use and service history. It is sensible to have the seals checked at the same time as any battery change.

Q: Can I swim or dive with it?
A: The Seamaster Diver 300 line was originally designed as a professional dive watch, and this reference includes classic diver features such as a unidirectional bezel and helium escape valve. However, because this is a vintage pre-owned watch, we recommend a professional water-resistance test before any swimming, showering or diving.

Q: What features does this watch have?
A: This piece has a stainless steel case and bracelet, a blue wave-pattern dial, luminous hands and markers, a date display at 3 o’clock, quartz movement and a fold-over clasp closure. It is a classic vintage Seamaster design.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The overall condition is very good. Externally, there are light scratches on the case and bracelet, while the internal condition is listed as very good.

Q: Does it come with box or papers?
A: No. According to the product information, this watch comes with no accessories.

Q: Is a midsize Seamaster a good everyday watch?
A: Yes. One of the main appeals of the midsize Seamaster is that it gives you the robust feel and look of a dive watch without the bulk of many modern sports watches, making it especially appealing for everyday wear and smaller wrists.

Q: How should I care for this watch?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after wear, keep it away from unnecessary knocks, and store it in a dry place when not in use. For long-term care, regular seal checks and periodic servicing are recommended, especially on a vintage watch.
