INTRODUCTION
Special recommendationS
What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides me with excellent service for many years?
Magnetic elds : avoid contact with magnets, or putting your watch on top of loudspeakers,
refrigerators or magnetic cases for iPads or other tablets, since such objects generate magnetic elds
which could disturb the functions of your watch.
Swimming in the sea : always rinse your watch with fresh water afterwards.
Shocks : whether physical, thermal or other, avoid them.
Crown : push it back against the case into the wearing position to prevent moisture from entering the
case.
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, perfumes, cosmetics, insect
repellents, 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 notably 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
authorized OMEGA Service Centre.
Pushers:
do not operate pushers underwater, in order to prevent water from entering the mechanism .

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 authorized 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.
Adrained batteryshould be replaced immediatelyin order to reduce the risk of leakage and consequent
damage to the movement. The type of battery is dened on the guarantee card enclosed with your
watch.
