A mid-1990s Omega Seamaster 120M Quartz Ref. 2511.31 featuring the iconic silver wave dial, sword hands with intact lume, and the dependable Omega Cal. 1538 quartz movement. This 36mm variant offers a versatile, wearable interpretation of the classic Seamaster design language, pairing 1990s dive aesthetics with everyday comfort and reliability.
Why It’s Special
The Seamaster 120M series bridges the gap between vintage Omega divers and the later Professional models, bringing together elegant case lines and a distinctive silver wave dial that has become a signature of the era. This example retains its original dial and hands, both of which present cleanly with strong printing and no degradation. Paired with the full-length 1501/823 bracelet, it represents a highly wearable and authentic slice of Omega’s 1990s catalogue, appealing to collectors and everyday wearers alike.
Condition
Original silver wave dial and hands remain clean with crisp print and intact lume. Case and bezel show moderate surface scratches and light scuffing consistent with daily wear, though brushing and edge definition remain visible. The 1501/823 bracelet is full at approximately 18cm with minor stretch and typical clasp marks from use. Sapphire crystal is clear and free of chips. Movement is clean and fully operational.
Performance: Quartz movement running correctly.
