Special recommendationS
What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides me with excellent service for many years?
Magnetic elds : avoid placing your watch on computers, loudspeakers or refrigerators, since they 
generate powerful magnetic elds.
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 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 
authorised OMEGA Service Centre.
Chronograph push-pieces : do not operate chronograph pushers under water in order to prevent water 
entering the mechanism.
