Omega Diver 300m 36mm 1995 Watch

Q: Is this Omega Diver 300M 36mm a quartz or automatic watch?
A: This reference 2561.80.00 is a quartz Seamaster powered by Omega calibre 1538. It offers the convenience and precision of a battery-powered movement rather than an automatic one.

Q: What size is the watch and how does it wear?
A: The case measures 36.25 mm, which Omega classifies as a mid-size watch. It is a strong choice for smaller to medium wrists and still has a sporty diver presence thanks to the steel bracelet and bezel.

Q: Is it suitable for swimming or diving?
A: This model was originally rated to 300 metres. However, as this is a vintage 1995 watch, we recommend having the water resistance pressure-tested and the seals checked before regular swimming, diving or showering.

Q: How long does the battery last, and how will I know when it needs replacing?
A: Omega lists the battery life at around 42 months. The movement also has an end-of-battery indicator, so the seconds hand will start moving in 4-second jumps when the battery is nearly exhausted.

Q: What is the condition of this specific watch?
A: It is listed in good vintage condition with light scratches on the case and bracelet. The lume dots are sun faded, which adds aged character and may mean a softer glow than on a newer watch.

Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist?
A: The current bracelet perimeter is listed as approximately 16 cm. Fit can vary depending on how you like a watch to sit, so it is best to compare that measurement with a watch you already wear comfortably.

Q: What is included with the watch?
A: This piece is listed with no accompanying items. Please assume the watch itself is included unless otherwise stated in the product information.

Q: How should I care for a vintage quartz Seamaster?
A: Keep the case and bracelet clean, avoid unnecessary shocks, and make sure the crown is properly secured. For best long-term care, Omega recommends regular servicing and a yearly water-resistance check.
