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 120 M 36mm? A: It’s a Swiss‑made vintage quartz wristwatch featuring a 36mm two‑tone stainless steel and gold case with matching bracelet. The Seamaster line is known for its maritime heritage and everyday versatility; this example offers a refined blue dial and classic, understated proportions.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The Seamaster 120 was originally rated to 120 metres. However, water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless the gaskets have been replaced and the watch has been pressure‑tested by a qualified watchmaker. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in (and screwed down if your model has a screw‑down crown) before any exposure to moisture.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Most Seamaster 120 quartz models take a standard 1.55V silver‑oxide button cell (commonly SR920SW/371 or SR626SW/377 depending on the specific calibre), but please have a watchmaker confirm the exact battery for this piece. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years. Many Omega quartz movements show a low‑battery indicator where the seconds hand jumps in 4‑second steps.
Q: How do I set the time (and date if applicable)? A: Pull the crown gently: Position 1 usually sets the date (if your watch has a date), Position 2 sets the time. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. After setting, push the crown back in firmly; if your crown is screw‑down, screw it down fully to help maintain water resistance.
Q: Will the 36mm size suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: 36mm offers a balanced, vintage‑classic presence that suits many small to medium wrists and wears well unisex. The bracelet fits up to approximately 18cm. If you need sizing, we can adjust the bracelet; share your wrist measurement for guidance.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized or swapped for a strap? A: Yes—bracelets can be sized, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability. Strap options may also be possible with the correct lug width and end‑link fit; contact us for recommendations that complement the two‑tone steel and gold aesthetic.
Q: What crystal does it have, and how should I care for it? A: Many Seamaster 120 models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal; some earlier variants may have mineral glass. We can confirm the crystal type on this specific watch upon request. Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners and chemicals.
Q: What servicing is recommended for a vintage quartz Seamaster? A: Replace the battery every 2–3 years. If you plan any water exposure, have the gaskets inspected/replaced and the watch pressure‑tested every 3–5 years. A full service is typically only needed if there are issues such as moisture ingress or timekeeping irregularities. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and extreme temperatures.
Q: Is this watch authentic, and what is included? A: A Retro Tale thoroughly inspects and authenticates every item; this piece carries the serial number 54170511. Unless otherwise stated, it is delivered without additional accessories or box/papers. We offer secure, insured shipping and a 12‑month movement guarantee for your peace of mind.
Q: Can you confirm the exact reference and production year? A: Omega production details are identified via serial and movement markings, and sometimes case‑back references. We’re happy to verify the movement/calibre, reference, and estimated production period for this specific watch and provide additional photos or documentation on request.
