Seamaster Diver 300M Quartz 36.25 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Blue / Bracelet

In Context

At 36.25 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 300 m is a professional diving rating, far past any demand a wrist is likely to make of it.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

2462.80.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a yellow gold, stainless steel case.

Quartz movement based on ETA 255.461. Superseded by the 1538.
