First introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster began as a robust yet refined water-resistant watch inspired by military timepieces of World War II. Over the decades, it evolved into one of Omega’s most versatile lines, spanning dress watches, professional divers, and quartz innovations. During the 1970s and 1980s, quartz Seamaster models embraced new technology, offering precision and reliability while retaining the collection’s signature durability, making them a popular choice for everyday wear.

What’s On Offer

Here we have an Omega Seamaster Quartz Date, reference 198.0055, a striking example of Omega’s confident design language during the quartz era. The standout feature is the beautifully toned grey-blue dial, which shifts subtly in different light, paired with clean baton markers and a neatly framed date window for a refined, understated look.

The case is a real highlight—broad, sculptural, and fully polished, giving the watch a bold wrist presence while still retaining the elegance expected of the Seamaster name. It’s fitted to an Omega strap with signed deployant clasp, completing the package nicely.

Inside sits the Omega calibre 1342 quartz movement, offering dependable accuracy and low-maintenance reliability.

Condition is strong overall, with light signs of wear consistent with age. The case retains its shape well, and the dial remains clean and attractive, making this a very wearable and eye-catching vintage Seamaster.
