What are the service intervals?
Like any precision instrument, a watch needs regular servicing to
ensure that it functions perfectly. We cannot indicate the frequency
of such work, since it depends entirely on the model, the climate and
the owner's individual care of the watch. As a general rule, a watch
should be serviced every 4 to 5 years, depending on the conditions
in which it is used.
Who should I contact for a maintenance service or battery
replacement?
We recommend that you contact an approved OMEGA service centre
or authorised OMEGA retailer. They are equipped with the tools and
apparatus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks
in a professional manner. Furthermore, these entities can guarantee
that their work is carried out in accordance with OMEGA's strict
quality standards.
A worn-out battery should be replaced immediately in order to reduce
the risk of leakage and consequent damage to the movement. The type
of battery is defined on the garantee card enclosed with your watch.

1Introduction
What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides
me with excellent service for many years?
Magnetic fields: avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refri-
gerators, since they generate powerful magnetic fields.
Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with fresh water
afterwards.
Shocks: whether thermal or other, avoid them.
Screw-down crown: screw down the crown carefully to prevent
water from penetrating the mechanism.
Non Screw-down crown: push it back into the neutral position to
prevent water from entering the mechanism.
Cleaning: for metal bracelets and water-resistant cases, use a tooth-
brush with soapy water to clean and a soft cloth for drying.
Chemical products: avoid direct contact with solvents, deter-
gents, perfumes, cosmetics etc., since they may damage the bracelet,
case or gaskets.
Temperature: avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (greater
than 60°C, or 140°F, less than 0°C, or 32°F) or extreme temperature
changes.
Water resistance: a watch's water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. It may be affected by the ageing of gaskets or by an accidental shock to the crown. As stipulated in our
service instructions, we recommend you have the water resistance
of your watch checked once a year by an approved OMEGA
service agent.
Chronograph push-pieces: do not operate chronograph pushers
under water in order to prevent water entering the mechanism.
Exception: The Seamaster 300 m and 600 m Chronographs have
pushers which function under water.

OMEGA International Warranty
Introduction1
(Valid for U.S.A. only)
You r OMEGA
®
watch is warranted by OME GA SA* FOR A
PERIOD OF TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS, THIRTY-SIX (36) MONTHS
FOR WATCHES WITH A CO-AXIAL ESCAPEMENT, FROM THE DATE
OF PURCHASE under the terms and conditions of this warranty. The
international OMEGA warranty covers material and manufacturing
defects existing at the time of delivery of the purchased OMEGA
watch (“defects”). The warranty only comes into force if the
warranty certificate is dated, fully and correctly completed and
stamped by an official OMEGA** dealer (“valid warranty
certificate”).
During the warranty period and by presenting the valid warranty
certificate, you will have the right to have any defect repaired free
of charge. In the event that repairs are unable to restore the normal
conditions of use of your OMEGA watch, OMEGA SA guarantees
its replacement by an OMEGA watch of identical or similar characteristics. The warranty for the replacement watch ends twentyfour (24) months, thirty-six (36) months for watches with a co-axial
escapement, after the date of purchase of the replaced watch.
This manufacturer’s warranty does not cover:
– the life of the battery.
– normal wear and tear and ageing (for example scratched crystal;
alteration of the colour and/or material of non metallic straps and
chains, such as leather, textile, rubber).
– any damage on any part of the watch resulting from abnormal/
abusive use, lack of care, negligence, accidents (knocks, dents,
crushing, broken crystal, etc.), incorrect use of the watch and nonobservance of the operating instructions provided by OMEGA SA.
–
the OMEGA watch handled by non-authorized persons (for exam-
ple for battery replacement, service or repair) or which has been
altered in its original condition beyond OMEGA SA’s control.
Leather straps
OMEGA recommends that you follow the steps below in order
to preserve the condition of your leather strap for as long as
possible:
– avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discolouration
and deformation.
– avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the colour from
fading.
– do not forget that leather is permeable! Therefore avoid contact
with greasy substances and cosmetic products.
– if you have a problem with your leather strap, please contact your
nearest OMEGA retailer!
Anti-refl ective treatment
11Introduction
Introduction
The anti-reflective treatment on both sides of the sapphire crystal
improves the visibility of your watch’s dial. Wear and tear may cause
marks to appear. These are considered normal and are therefore not
covered by the warranty.
Screw-down crown
1Introduction
Some watches are fitted with a screw-down crown which must be
unscrewed to alter the date and time. After use, push the crown into
position 1 then press and screw the crown back down, failure to screw
the crown down will compromise water resistance.

Operating instructions2
The time, hours, minutes and seconds functions are driven by a
primary motor using traditional quartz watch technology.
The chronograph functions are provided by a combination of quartz
and mechanical technology. The chronograph hand, driven by a separate motor, makes 16 jumps per second. Its movement appears continuous and it can be read off the scale to within 1/10th of a second.
The reset function, like the minute and hour totaliser functions, is carried out mechanically. The return to zero is instantaneous.
In order to reduce energy consumption to a minimum, the chronograph
automatically stops after more than 11 hours of operation.
The crown has 3 positions:
Watch functions:
1. Normal position (wearing position): when the crown is posi-
tioned against the case, the crown ensures that the watch is waterresistant.
