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 exactly is this model and movement? A: It is the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M reference 2582.80.00 from the mid‑1990s, in stainless steel with a blue wave dial and date. It is powered by Omega’s quartz calibre 1538, which includes an end‑of‑battery‑life indicator for easy maintenance planning.
Q: Is it safe to swim with this vintage Seamaster? A: When new, this reference was rated to 300 metres. As with all vintage watches, water resistance is not guaranteed over time. We recommend a professional pressure test and gasket check before any exposure to water, and having water resistance checked annually thereafter.
Q: What is the size and who does it suit on the wrist? A: The case measures approximately 29 mm across and wears elegantly as a compact diver. The bracelet on this watch currently fits a wrist up to about 15.5 cm; please see the product information for the exact fit on this piece.
Q: What kind of glass and bezel does it have? A: It features a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal and a unidirectional rotating bezel for timing elapsed minutes—hallmarks of the Seamaster Diver 300M line.
Q: Does the lume still glow like a modern diver? A: Many Seamaster 300M models from the mid‑1990s used tritium on the dial and hands. Tritium typically develops a creamy patina and glows only faintly today compared with modern Super‑LumiNova. Exact lume type can be confirmed by dial markings and close inspection of this example’s photos.
Q: How will I know when the battery needs replacing, and which battery does it take? A: Calibre 1538 signals low battery with a seconds hand that jumps in four‑second steps. Depending on the specific case reference, it uses either a 373 or 395 cell. Typical battery life is around 3–4 years in normal use.
Q: How accurate is the calibre 1538? A: Quartz Seamaster 1538 movements are known for excellent accuracy, commonly running within a few seconds per month when in good order. If you notice unusual gain or loss, a watchmaker can inspect and service the movement and seals.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This example is offered without additional items such as box or cards unless explicitly stated there.
Q: Can you adjust or extend the bracelet? A: The bracelet has removable links for sizing. Additional links can often be sourced separately if required; a competent watchmaker can install them. Refer to the product information for the current wearable length of this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate and what about servicing? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. For ongoing care, Omega recommends a complete service roughly every 5–8 years, with annual water‑resistance checks if you plan to use the watch around water.
