Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Omega Seamaster 120M 36mm Ref. 2511.81 (1993)? A: It is a classic, mid‑size Seamaster from 1993 featuring a 36mm stainless‑steel case and bracelet, a blue dial with luminous markers, a date window at 3 o’clock, and a smooth fixed bezel. This reference is part of the dressier Seamaster 120M line and offers everyday versatility with sporty heritage.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: Quartz. It is powered by Omega’s Calibre 1538, a reliable Swiss quartz movement with an end‑of‑battery‑life (EOL) indicator for convenient upkeep.
Q: What is the water‑resistance and can I swim with it? A: The Seamaster 120M was originally rated to 120 metres. However, for a vintage watch, water‑resistance cannot be guaranteed without a recent pressure test and gasket inspection. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only unless it has just passed a professional pressure test; avoid swimming or showering with it.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal and luminous hands/markers? A: Yes. This reference is fitted with a domed, anti‑reflective, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, and the dial features luminous elements for legibility in low light.
Q: How do I set the time and date on this quartz model? A: Unscrew the crown counter‑clockwise. In the neutral position you can secure the crown; pull to the first click to quick‑set the date, and pull to the second click to set the time. Push the crown back in and screw it down firmly to maintain sealing. Avoid changing the date between approximately 9 pm and 3 am to protect the date mechanism.
Q: What is the expected battery life and how will I know it needs replacing? A: Typical battery life is about 42 months. When the battery is low, the seconds hand usually jumps in four‑second steps (EOL indicator). Replace the battery promptly and have the gaskets checked at the same time.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: Yes, this piece is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 20 cm. It comes with 3 extra links for additional adjustment; links can also be removed for a smaller fit.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This example includes the original certificate, booklet, and 3 extra bracelet links. It will be delivered securely with A Retro Tale’s full authenticity guarantee.
Q: What is the condition of this specific watch? A: Rated Very Good overall, showing light traces of use consistent with age. There are surface scratches on the case, case back, bezel, and bracelet as described; please review the photos for details.
Q: Is this model still produced, and what about servicing? A: This reference is discontinued by Omega. For care, a battery change every ~3–4 years is typical; request a pressure test and gasket inspection at the same time. A full service may be considered roughly every 5–8 years or if performance or water‑resistance checks suggest it is needed.
