Omega Seamaster 300m Blue Wave Dial 36mm Box Papers FACTORY SERVICED 2552.80.00

WHY THIS WATCH

A Seamaster with a Twist

 

The Omega Seamaster needs no introduction, as it's one of the most recognizable watches in production. This particular reference, the 2552.80.00 adds some really nice twists for those collectors looking for a Seamaster that stands out.

This Seamaster is 36mm, making it very versatile and comfortable on almost any wrist. What distinguishes this watch the most, is the polished, bezel - most Seamasters have a blue aluminum bezel. The dial on this watch is a deep blue, laser engraved wave dial. The case carries the classic curves and helium escape valve that the Seamaster is known for. 

Calibre 1120

 

Omega equipped this watch with a Calibre 1120, which is a modified ETA 2892-A2. The 1120 was the predecessor to the Omega Calibre 2500, which was the first Co-Axial movement. Don't knock this movement for being based on an ETA. The 2892 is a tried and true workhorse that has proven to be a reliable calibre. Also, this is a chronometer rated movement, so Omega did put some work into this movement to ensure it's accurate. Also notable - this watch movement has a hacking movement, meaning the seconds hand stops when the crown is pulled out, enabling the user to set the exact time.  Co-axials are great, but the fact that this watch isn't one, will make it easier down the road if you ever need a repair. Co-axials are notoriously hard to service by an independent shop. You'll love this simple, ETA based movement when/if the time comes for a repair. 

Wrist Impressions

I would say this watch wears true to it's 36mm size, which is great for my average wrists. I love the deep blue wave dial. The dial is hyper legible, with the hands and lume points making it very easy to read time at a glance despite its smaller size. The shiny bezel is stand-out and I love how they decided to paint the numerals on the bezel blue, rather than black. The bracelet is pretty standard, but you'll never hear me complain about it's ergonomics - this bracelet is really comfortable. I can wear this watch anywhere. It's at home at work, and equally at home on my next adventure. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch received a full service by Omega in September of 2021. This watch is in superb condition, I would give it a 90%. Most of the wear is on the bezel, which has some scratches from normal use (see pics). The sides of the case are clean. The crystal is free from any wear. The watch is keeping excellent time. The date function works perfectly, switching the date at midnight.
