Q: Is this Seamaster 120 automatic or quartz?
A: This reference is a quartz Seamaster 120 from the early 1990s, with a date display at 3 o’clock. Quartz models are valued for their accuracy, convenience and lower day-to-day maintenance compared with automatic watches.

Q: Can I swim or shower with a vintage Seamaster 120m?
A: The model was originally rated to 120 metres, but with any vintage watch, real-world water resistance depends on the current condition of the gaskets and seals. Unless it has been pressure-tested recently, it is safest to avoid swimming, showering or full submersion.

Q: What is the condition of this specific watch?
A: This example is in good vintage condition overall. The case and bracelet show light scratches from normal wear, while the internal condition is noted as very good. Please review the product images closely for the clearest impression of its present appearance.

Q: What is included with the watch?
A: This watch is sold watch-only. No box, papers or other included items are listed for this piece.

Q: When does the battery need replacing, and how often should it be serviced?
A: Battery life depends on use, but quartz Omega watches should have the battery replaced promptly once it shows signs of running low. A 4-second jump of the seconds hand is a common Omega low-battery indicator. As a general rule, it is wise to have the watch checked regularly, with water-resistance testing performed periodically and a fuller service carried out when needed.

Q: How should I care for a vintage two-tone Omega watch?
A: Clean the metal bracelet and case gently with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals, perfume, detergents and abrasive polishing at home. As this is a vintage watch, it is also best to avoid knocks, strong magnetic fields and unnecessary moisture exposure unless the watch has been professionally checked.
