What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides
me with excellent service for many years?
Magnetic fields: 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 fields which could
disturb the functions of your watch. Watches that include Master
Co-Axial or Master Chronometer in their name are unaffected by
magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss (1.5 tesla).
Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with fresh water
afterwards.
Shocks: whether physical, thermal or other, avoid them.
Screw-down crown: screw the crown down carefully to prevent
water from penetrating the case.
Non screw-down 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 instruc
-
tions, we recommend you have the water resistance of your watch
checked once a year by an authorised OMEGA Service Centre.
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.
