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 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 tempera-
ture changes.
Water resistance:
a watch's water resistance cannot be per-
manently guaranteed. It may be affected by the ageing of gas-
kets 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.
