Omega Seamaster 2562.80 — Mid-Size Professional 300M, 36 mm Steel, Blue Wave Dial, Watch Only

This listing is an Omega Seamaster Professional 300M reference 2562.80 (also written 2562.80.00): the mid-size 36 mm steel diver with a blue wave dial. It is watch only — no box and no papers. It fits about a 7-inch wrist. Condition is good overall. Price is $1,500.

If you are searching for an Omega Seamaster 2562.80, an Omega Seamaster mid size 36mm, or a Seamaster Professional 300m 36mm in the USA, this is the quartz mid-size Peter-era 300M — not the current 42 mm automatic and not a 41 mm Bond watch.

Every watch we sell is inspected and offered as authenticated and genuine. We ship from Scottsdale, Arizona, with insured delivery across the United States.

What the 2562.80 is

Omega launched the modern Seamaster Professional 300M in the early 1990s. The design that stuck is the wave dial, scalloped unidirectional bezel, helium escape valve, and 300 m rating.

Most people know the larger automatic. Reference 2562.80 is the mid-size quartz version: about 36.25 mm across, same family look, smaller on the wrist. US listings call it mid-size, midsize, or 36 mm Seamaster.

It uses Omega Calibre 1538, a high-grade quartz movement with date at 3 o’clock. That is not a cheap fashion quartz. It is the smaller 300M Omega made for buyers who wanted the Professional diver in a classic gentleman’s size.

The dial is the signature blue wave, with lume on the hands and markers, a white chapter ring on many examples, and the skeleton hands plus red-tipped seconds hand that people recognize as Seamaster.

This example: watch only, 7-inch bracelet, good condition

US buyers get burned when “Seamaster 300M” hides a missing kit or a 41 mm automatic. This page is specific.

• Reference: 2562.80 / 2562.80.00
• Size: 36 mm mid-size
• Dial: blue wave
• Material: stainless steel
• Kit: watch only
• Box and papers: no
• Bracelet: fits about 7 inches
• Condition: good overall (see photos)
• Trades: welcome

Good condition means honest wear consistent with a used diver. Expect hairlines on the steel. Ask for extra photos of the bezel, crystal, bracelet, clasp, caseback hippocampus, and lug serial if you want them. Use contact.

Mid-size 36 mm vs the 41 mm Bond Seamaster

This is the comparison that wins long-tail traffic.

2562.80 (this watch): ~36 mm, quartz, mid-size, easier under a cuff, better for smaller and medium wrists.

2531.80 and similar 41 mm automatics: the “Bond” size most people picture. Heavier, larger, automatic.

Current Seamaster Diver 300M: bigger still, Master Chronometer, different generation.

If you want the wave-dial Seamaster look without a 41–42 mm case, 2562.80 is the reference. If you want an automatic rotor, this is the wrong listing.

Quartz Calibre 1538 — say it clearly

Some sellers bury “quartz” because they think it hurts the sale. It should be on the page.

Calibre 1538 is Omega’s mid-size 300M quartz. Typical points buyers look for:

• Battery quartz, high accuracy
• Date
• End-of-life battery indicator on many 1538 examples
• Long service interval compared with an automatic, but the battery still needs changing

A used 2562.80 should be timed and the battery checked. If you want a recent battery install noted, ask before you buy.

Dive specs that still matter

This is a real Omega diver, not a dress watch:

• 300 m / 1000 ft water resistance
• Unidirectional rotating dive bezel
• Helium escape valve
• Screw-down crown
• Sapphire crystal
• Screw-down caseback with the hippocampus

Do not treat a 20–30 year-old diver as dive-ready without a pressure test. For swimming and daily wear, the 300M design is the point of the watch. For actual diving, have it tested.

Who this watch is for

This Omega Seamaster 2562.80 fits four USA buyers:

1. Smaller-wrist buyer who wants a Seamaster that is not 41 mm.
2. Entry Omega buyer looking under $2,000 for an authenticated 300M.
3. Quartz-preferring buyer who wants accuracy and less winding.
4. Value buyer who accepts watch only to pay less than a full-set example.

It is not for someone who needs box, papers, and a 2026 warranty card. Full-set 2562.80 watches cost more. This listing is priced as a watch-only piece.
