OmegaSeamaster O-matic 200m 1995 Watch

Q: Is this watch automatic or quartz?
A: This Seamaster O-matic uses Omega calibre 1400, a hybrid autoquartz movement. In simple terms, a rotor charges an internal energy store as you wear it, while quartz regulation keeps the watch running with strong day-to-day accuracy.

Q: What size is this watch, and how does it wear?
A: The case is approximately 36 mm, giving it a classic midsize fit that suits many wrists. As currently presented, the bracelet fits a wrist of up to 18 cm.

Q: How long will it run when not being worn?
A: When fully charged, the movement is generally rated for around 100 hours, or about five days, off the wrist.

Q: What does it mean if the seconds hand starts jumping in 4-second steps?
A: On the Omegamatic movement, that usually indicates low stored energy. Wearing the watch should help recharge it, but if the behaviour continues it may need servicing or replacement of the capacitor or rechargeable cell.

Q: Can I swim or dive with this watch?
A: The model was originally rated to 200 metres, but with any vintage pre-owned watch the current water resistance depends on age, seals, and service history. We recommend treating it cautiously and having it pressure-tested before any contact with water.

Q: Does the lume still glow strongly in the dark?
A: This reference uses tritium lume. On a vintage watch from the 1990s, it is normal for the glow to have softened significantly or faded over time.

Q: What product information is included with this watch?
A: This piece is offered with no original box, papers, or other additional product information. Please rely on the listing details and photographs for what is included with this specific watch.

Q: Is this a good everyday vintage Omega?
A: Yes, its stainless steel construction, black dial, date display, and wearable midsize case make it an easy daily option. As with any vintage watch, sensible care, periodic servicing, and caution around water are advisable.
