Omega Seamaster 120m 36mm Watch

Q: What are the key details of this Omega Seamaster 120m watch?
A: This reference 2511.81 is the 36 mm version of the Omega Seamaster 120m, officially listed by Omega at 36.25 mm. It features a stainless steel case and bracelet, a blue dial with date display, a folding clasp, a domed anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and Omega calibre 1538 quartz movement.

Q: Is this watch automatic or quartz?
A: This model is quartz, not automatic. That means it is battery-powered and designed for precise, low-maintenance everyday wear rather than mechanical winding.

Q: How long does the battery usually last?
A: Omega lists the battery life for calibre 1538 at around 42 months. It also has an end-of-battery-life indicator, so the watch should give notice when the battery is running low.

Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: The model was originally designed with 120-metre water resistance. However, as this is a vintage pre-owned watch, we recommend having it pressure-tested before swimming, showering, or prolonged water exposure, as water resistance depends on the current condition of the seals and case.

Q: Will the 36 mm size suit a smaller wrist?
A: Yes. This is a classic mid-size Seamaster, so it wears neatly and comfortably rather than oversized. This particular bracelet is listed as fitting a wrist of up to 18 cm, which makes it especially suitable for small to medium wrists.

Q: What condition is this specific watch in?
A: This example is listed in good overall condition. The internal and external condition are both noted as good, and there are scratches on the case and bracelet consistent with pre-owned vintage wear.

Q: Does this watch come with box or papers?
A: No. This listing is for the watch only, with no box, papers, or other included items noted.

Q: How should I care for and service this watch?
A: Keep the crown properly secured, avoid heavy knocks and chemicals, and store the watch in a dry place when not in use. Omega recommends regular water-resistance checks and a complete service roughly every 5 to 8 years, depending on wear and condition.
