Special recommendations

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 refrigerators, since they generate powerful magnetic fields. Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with warm water afterwards. Shocks: whether thermal or other, avoid them. Screw-in crown: screw in the crown carefully to prevent water from penetrating the mechanism. Non screw-in 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 toothbrush with soapy water to clean and a soft cloth for drying. Chemical products: avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, 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°, or 32°F) or extreme temperature changes. Water resistance: a watch's water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. It may be affected by 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 Chronographs have pushers which can function under water.

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

English

Used batteries, watch components and electronic watches should not be thrown away. They should be recycled correctly. We recommend you return them to your nearest OMEGA retailer.

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

discoloration 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.

Environmental protection

Leather straps

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, who are the only entities equipped with the tools and apparatus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks in a professional manner. Furthermore, only these entities can guarantee that their work is carried out in accordance with OMEGA's strict quality standards.

Special recommendations

Anti-reflective treatment

Screw-in crown

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.

Some watches are fitted with a screw-in crown which should be unscrewed before use. After use, push the crown into position 1 then press and screw back in (water-resistance).
