Apparently people got used to wear 42-45 mm on their wrists😂. I bought the Seamaster 36mm (quartz version) last year and it has been my GADA watch ever since. I couldn’t be happier with it. Finishing is great, the Bond connection is awesome, the bracelet is so much better than what we see in a lot of nowadays mid-range watches, fits perfectly on my wrist. Also, it’s design it’s very unique and original, not just a submariner copycat. It has it’s own bracelet design, the helium escape valve is a part of its identity. Absolutely no complaints.
Same I have the automatic, and love it. I love the looks of the bracelet--yes, 90s and somewhat 'dated' looking but in the best way possible. It would be nice to have a micro-adjustment, and I wish the clasp was a little more compact. Overall my favorite watch by far, though.
Much prefer the aesthetics of this one than on the current references - which aren't bad, just not as elegant. Omega should at least take the hint from the previous references and current trends and make a smaller Seamaster, perhaps 40mm diameter and 45 lug-to-lug.
Hello! NIce litle watch that I own since the 90s! BTW, the dive extension, I've used it, a lot, I don't dive with it anymore, but is not so rare that divers use dive watches...
TQ for this video. I bought mine in 1995 for only USD 1000. At that time the 41mm version was only available in quartz movement. Even Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" was a quartz version.
Fine adjustability is achieved by removing the half links available on both sides of the bracelet. This is a very comfortable and well made bracelet that can still rival many modern bracelets made today. Moreover not many people know that this bracelet is made is Switzerland unlike 70% of Swiss brands that don’t make their bracelet in Switzerland. If it’s not engraved Swiss on the bracelet it wasn’t made there, even if the watch is Swiss!
Is that a review or just a collection of your opinions. I have worn this watch since 1997. My go to even though I have a Breitling and several other Swiss watches
I’ve noticed that many of these models seem to have a mismatch between the lume on the hands and the dial. Is it because the hands are serviced prior and therefore replaced? Or is this mismatch typical for this watch?
Hi, that's a very good question. I have also noticed that with many watches from the 90s. Unfortunately, I don't have a definitive answer to that either. My suspicion always was, that since dials and hands were probably made by different suppliers, the binding material for the lume could have been different and therefore have an impact on the aging. But that's pure speculation. Any lume experts out here?
It's not the tritium that is gone, but the exciter used with it to glow I have a weedy 6inch wrist and thought it would be a great fit. It's not because of the bracelet, as stated. It looks odd to me

That's my issue with Omega. Also, I believe the Helium valve is cringe and outdated. I own multiple luxury watches but I just don't get Omega making oversized wrist clocks. But I do like their design.

Does it have micro adjustment on the clasp?
@@jokester5812 unfortunately no
But you can use micro adjustment clasp from planet ocean I understand
I have the 93 36mm Quartz. It’s an awesome watch, each to their own on watch sizes.
do u still wear it?
@@relosapulso everyday. The bezel has gone a icy blue
@@darrenhargreaves8613 awesome still waiting for my peter blake 36mm to arrive
@@relosapulso You will love that one too. I have the Quartz 36 mm of that one too

Always love your videos since finding this channel through the Aquascaphe video.

I have the 36mm 2262.50.00 in Quartz and I love it. Will review it sometime soon! Nice video! Subscribing
can't wait
Do you think the watch looks good on a rubber strap? I wonder if the lugs are suitable for it

Very insightful video
It may have been purchased in 1999 but Omega stopped using Tritium dials in 1998.
Hilarious that people say the HEV “will never be used.” But no one dives as far as any diver could. You’re missing the point

No it I'd. Be like a button on my arm
The 42mm is too big, whereas the 36mm is too small. I want an SMP 300 in 38mm to 40mm. Until then, I'll continue to ignore Omega divers.
I favour small watches but i have to agree. A 40mm diameter 45mm lug-to-lug modern green 300 would be perfect. In its current form it's too large.
That's my issue with Omega. Also, I believe the Helium valve is cringe and outdated. I own multiple luxury watches but I just don't get Omega making oversized wrist clocks. But I do like their design.
I dont know why brands insist in 42mm diameter. I tried the omega and found it too big. Like the Tudor pelagus blue..., make it 39mm please!
The Seamaster has never been 40mm so why would they create a new one? In fact none of Omega’s watches are 40mm.🤦🏻
The Seamaster was 36mm, why they upped to 42?
Too small and will be hard to move on if you wish to sell.
36 mm is a great idea if you´re a woman
No, it’s an outright SHITTER
The only people that use the term shitter are outright shitheads.
36mm looks too feminine.
