Brand: Omega
Model: Seamaster 120m
Reference Number: 196 1501
Serial Number: 57263148
Movement: Quartz
Dial: Silver wave pattern with applied indices
Case Size: 38mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1990s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Movement serviced on 12 October 2026.

Dial and Hands
The dial is defined by a clean silver wave pattern, presenting a pristine aesthetic with a beautifully textured surface. Applied indices remain in excellent condition, accompanied by crisp, precise printing throughout. The time is indicated by skeletonized hands featuring striking blued edges, which add a subtle touch of color against the silver dial. The luminous material on the hands is intact and clean, completing the highly legible and well-preserved display.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case features crisp lug geometry and is well preserved, exhibiting minor handling wear consistent with careful use. The smooth polished bezel and case flanks show light surface scratches, alongside light hairline scratches on the bezel itself. The knurled crown is clearly signed with the Omega logo. A clear, flat crystal protects the dial, remaining free of any visible scratches or chips.

Movement
Powering the watch is a clean Omega Caliber 1538 quartz movement. The caliber is free of visible corrosion and currently has a battery installed. Factory engravings clearly read "OMEGA 1538", "SIX 6 JEWELS", and "SWISS". The movement was serviced on 12 October 2026.

Strap
The watch is fitted with its original signed bracelet, a multi-link stainless steel design bearing endlink code 823. This original bracelet is in great condition, showing light surface scratches appropriate for its age. It secures to the wrist with a clasp featuring a prominent gold Omega logo and accommodates a maximum wrist fit of 19cm.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The movement was serviced on 12 October 2026. The watch is well preserved overall, showing minor handling wear. The dial and hands are pristine, while the case and smooth polished bezel display light surface and hairline scratches. The original signed bracelet remains in great condition with light surface wear, and the flat crystal is clear and unblemished.

Dimensions
The case measures 38mm in diameter (excluding the crown).

Remarks
The clean silver wave dial provides a highly engaging focal point, perfectly complemented by the skeletonized hands with blued edges. Powered by a reliable Omega 1538 quartz movement and retaining its original multi-link bracelet with a gold logo clasp, this piece stands out for its excellent overall preservation and cohesive design.

History
The Omega Seamaster 120m reference 196.1501 represents a classic 90s Seamaster design. As a standard production model from this era, it was widely available and remains popular among enthusiasts for its distinctive styling and dependable quartz performance. The model line demonstrates Omega's balanced approach to creating versatile, well-proportioned timepieces during the nineteen-nineties.
