WHAT WE LOVE:
The Omega Seamaster Ref. 396.1042 is a sleek, highly wearable quartz sports watch from the late 1980s to early 1990s — a time when Omega was embracing slim cases, precise quartz technology, and quietly refined styling. With its two-tone aesthetic and champagne gold dial, this reference offers subtle vintage luxury with everyday versatility.
Housed in a stainless steel case with an integrated gold-tone bezel, the watch measures a comfortable 36mm in diameter, offering a slim, dressy profile that sits well on a variety of wrist sizes. The brushed champagne dial is clean and minimal, featuring applied gold indices, slim baton hands, and a discreet date window at 3 o’clock — all protected by a flat sapphire crystal.
Its integrated bracelet completes the design, blending polished and brushed steel in a style that was highly emblematic of the era. This particular reference walks the line between sport and dress effortlessly, with a distinct 1990s Omega charm.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Powering the Seamaster 396.1042 is the Omega Caliber 1438, a high-accuracy Swiss quartz movement with date function and hacking seconds. Known for its reliability and long battery life, the 1438 was widely used across Omega’s late-80s and early-90s Seamaster and Constellation lines.
