INTRODUCTION
Special recommendations
What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides me with excel-
lent service for many years?
Magnetic fields: avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigera-
tors since they generate powerful magnetic fields which may damage it.
Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with fresh water after-
wards.
Shocks: whether they are thermal or other, avoid them.
Crown: push back the crown to its neutral position to prevent water from
penetrating into the mechanism.
Cleaning: for metal bracelets, rubber straps and water-resistant cases,
use a toothbrush and soapy water for cleaning and dry with a soft cloth.
Chemical products: avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, per-
fumes, cosmetics, etc., since they may damage the bracelet, case or
gaskets.
Temperature: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures
(greater than 60°C or 140°F and less than 0°C or 32°F) or extreme tem-
perature changes.
Water-resistance: a watch's absolute water-resistance cannot be per-
manently guaranteed. It may notably 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 authorised OMEGA Service Centre.
Chronograph pushers: do not operate chronograph pushers under water
in order to prevent water entering the mechanism.

English
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 ser-
viced every 4 to 5 years, depending on the conditions in which it is used.
Who should I contact for a maintenance service or battery replace-
ment?
We recommend that you contact an approved OMEGA service centre or
authorised OMEGA retailer. They are equipped with the tools and ap-
paratus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks in a pro-
fessional manner. Furthermore, these specialists can guarantee that their
work is carried out in accordance with OMEGA's strict quality standards.
A worn-out battery should be replaced as quickly as possible in order
to avoid the risk of leakage and consequent damage to the movement.
The type of battery is defined on the guarantee card enclosed with your
watch.

OMEGA international warranty (valid for U.S.A. only)
Introduction
Your OMEGA®watch is warranted by OMEGA SA* for a period of
twenty-four (24) months 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 certifi-
cate"). 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 condi-
tions of use of your OMEGA watch, OMEGA SA guarantees its repla-
cement by an OMEGA watch of identical or similar characteristics. The
warranty for the replacement watch ends twenty-four (24) months after
the date of purchase of the replaced watch.
This 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 and rubber).
• any damage on any part of the watch resulting from abnormal/abu-
sive use, lack of care, negligence, accidents (knocks, dents, crushing,
broken crystal, etc.), incorrect use of the watch and non-observance
of the operating instructions provided by OMEGA SA.
• the OMEGA watch handled by non-authorised persons (for example
for battery replacement, service or repair) or which has been altered
in its original condition beyond OMEGA's control.
