Temperatures: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (higher than 60°C or
140°F and lower than 0°C or 32°F), or to extreme variations.
Water resistance: the absolute water resistance of a watch cannot be guaranteed forever.
In particular, it can be affected by ageing of the gaskets, or by an accidental impact on the
crown. As stipulated in our service instructions, we recommend having your watch's water
resistance tested once a year by an approved OMEGA service centre.
Pushers: do not operate the pushers underwater, to prevent water from penetrating the
mechanism.
Different strap sizes: For leather, rubber and fabric straps, there are various sizes available
from your OMEGA point of sale, other approved points of sale, or from omegawatches.com.
Bracelet length adjustment: you can visit an OMEGA point of sale or approved service
centre to have the bracelet length adjusted to your wrist. The specialists will measure your
wrist circumference, and provide guidance to optimise the wearing comfort of your watch.
What are the intervals between services?
Like any precision instrument, a watch requires regular servicing to ensure it operates
perfectly. We cannot specify the frequency of this operation, since it is entirely dependent
on the model, climate and care that each owner takes with their watch. As a general rule,
a watch should be serviced every 5 to 8 years, according to the conditions under which it
is used.
