I wanted to add at least one quartz piece to my collection, as I wanted to have one just "grab-and-go" watch - one that I wouldn't have to worry about setting the time, correcting the date, etc. when the power reserve had run out. Originally, I was leaning towards purchasing a 9F Grand Seiko quartz (GS has a special place for me), but most of their quartz options were too...dressy. I wanted something that would be able to be dressed down when needed, but could also look good with a suit and tie should the occasion call for it. I had known about the blue Seamaster Professionals of the 90's, but the black Seamasters always caught my eye more - especially with the older wave dials. Eventually, I found out about the 212.30.36.61.01.001, which was the 36mm variant (and better suited my 6.75'' wrist compared to the full-size 41mm), and housed the (from what I've read on here) built-like-a-tank Omega 1538 movement. It took a little while to find one, as I don't think they pop up for sale that often. Some photos below, and also one right next to my Speedmaster 3510.50, so you can see the size comparison between the two.
Very nice!!! I have an old Seamaster 200 in quartz. I too like to just throw it on not having to worry about setting it. If it's good enough for Prince William, I guess it's good enough for us.
