Wear it with a tailored jacket at the office, then switch to a polo or knit on a harbour stroll or evening date—effortless, versatile and always composed.
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 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm you are offering? A: It is reference 210.32.42.20.01.001 from 2024, featuring a 42mm stainless‑steel case, black ceramic unidirectional bezel, black ceramic wave‑pattern dial with a date at 6 o’clock, sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective treatment, a sapphire display back, and a black rubber strap with pin buckle. It is sold as a full set with original box, certificate and outer box.
Q: Which movement does it use and what are the headline specs? A: The watch is powered by Omega’s Co‑Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8800. Key features include automatic winding, an approximate 55‑hour power reserve, resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and chronometric performance tested to Master Chronometer standards (typically 0 to +5 seconds per day under test conditions).
Q: Is it suitable for swimming or diving and what is the helium escape valve for? A: The Diver 300M is rated to 300 metres/30 bar and is designed for water activities. As this is a pre‑owned piece, we recommend a current pressure test before any immersion. The conical helium escape valve at 10 o’clock is intended for saturation diving to safely release trapped gases; it is not needed for everyday swimming or snorkelling.
Q: How do I operate the crown and set the time/date? A: Unscrew the crown anti‑clockwise to the winding position. Pull one click to set the date (quickset), and pull a second click to set the time. Push the crown back in and screw it down firmly to help maintain water resistance. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8 pm and 4 am to protect the mechanism.
Q: What are the dimensions and how does it wear on the wrist? A: Case diameter is 42mm, thickness is approximately 13.7mm, and the lug‑to‑lug length is about 50mm, giving a presence that suits most medium to larger wrists. This specific watch fits a wrist of up to approximately 20cm as supplied on the rubber strap.
Q: What is the lug width and can I change straps or fit a steel bracelet? A: Lug width is 20mm. The watch accepts 20mm straps such as rubber, leather or NATO options, and it can be paired with a compatible Omega stainless‑steel bracelet if desired. We’re happy to advise on options and sizing.
Q: How durable are the bezel, dial and crystal in daily use? A: The bezel and dial are ceramic, offering excellent scratch resistance, and the crystal is sapphire with anti‑reflective treatment for clarity. While very robust, the external AR coating can mark if impacted or exposed to harsh chemicals; normal mindful wear will keep it looking its best.
Q: How accurate should I expect it to be and what about magnetism? A: As a Master Chronometer, the watch is tested for precision and anti‑magnetic performance; many owners experience around 0 to +5 seconds per day in regular wear, though real‑world results vary. Its anti‑magnetic construction helps maintain accuracy even around everyday magnetic fields.
Q: What is included with this listing and is it authentic? A: This example is delivered as a full set: original box, certificate and outer box. Every item from A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated and comes with our 12‑month mechanical warranty, free fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers.
Q: How often should I service it and any care tips? A: Mechanical service intervals typically range from about 5 to 8 years depending on use and environment. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, ensure the crown is fully screwed down before contact with water, and have water‑resistance tested periodically, especially before swimming.
