1970s Omega Seamaster 120 “Jacques MAYOL” – Réf. 396.0900

Stainless steel | Quartz | 35.0mm

Sale price€3.800,00

The Omega Seamaster 120 Quartz is one of the most iconic divers produced by the brand. Launched in the early 1980s, it is a rare and fascinating dive watch that was worn Jacques Mayol, during his record-breaking free dive to 101m in 1981, near the Elbe Island. It features a robust 37mm stainless steel case built for underwater performance, with a rotating bezel. Its integrated bracelet reminds of the Royal Oak, which gave it the nickname of “the luxury diver”. It embarks the innovative (back then) 1337 caliber, with quick setting of the time.

This watch is in great condition. The bezel particularly in not cracked, while many are. The case is in great shape and the dial shows a nice patina.

Omega

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has grown to become one of the most renowned and respected names in the world of horology. In 1894, Omega revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the 19-ligne "Omega" caliber, known for its groundbreaking precision and ease of repair. This innovation marked a turning point for the company, which was soon renamed "Omega" in recognition of the caliber's success.

Omega's reputation for accuracy was further solidified when it became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, a role it still holds today. The brand’s dedication to precision was also demonstrated in 1969, when the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Over the decades, Omega has introduced iconic collections such as the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Constellation, blending cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Omega watches are not only known for their technical excellence but also for their association with explorers, athletes, and adventurers who push the limits of human achievement.
