Do not place the watch on equip-
ment emitting strong magnetic
fields (e.g. radio alarms, refrigera-
tors, speakers, etc.)
If possible, avoid exposing your
watch to extreme temperatures,
i.e. in excess of 60 °C and less
than –5 °C. While the watch is
being worn, body heat protects
the watch from any such extreme
fluctuations in temperature.
Protect your watch against sudden
temperature shocks, e.g. do not
take it into the sauna with you.
Oris watches, like any other
device with mechanical compo-
nents, needs maintenance from
time to time. However, the need
for maintenance depends heavily
on personal usage, the climate
and how the watch is looked after.
For normal, careful use, Oris
recommends general maintenance
every 4 – 5 years.
Hand in your watch to an official
Oris retailer or send it to the Oris
service centre in your country.
You can find a director y listing all
approved retailers and ser vice
centres in the attached document,
or the latest updated version can

If you have any further questions,
do not hesitate to consult an
approved Oris retailer or the site

Over time, everyday wear and
ageing of seals in particular
adversely affect the water-resistance
of a watch. Oris therefore recom-
mends having the water-resistance
of your watch tested once a year
by an approved Oris retailer.
Standard crowns must always be
pressed into position 1 to ensure
that they satisfy the specified
water-resistance levels.
Screw-down crowns, crowns with
the Oris Quick Lock system (QLC)
and screw-down pushers must
always be locked in order to
satisfy the specified water-resistance
levels.
Crowns and pushers must not be
operated underwater.
Use and maintenance.
Clean watches, metal bracelets
and rubber straps regularly, and
whenever they have been immersed
in salt water, using a toothbrush
and lukewarm soapy water, then
dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid getting the watch and strap
into direct contact with solvents
and cleaning agents, cosmetics,
perfumes, etc. These products
can damage the case, the strap
and the seals.
Protect leather and fabric straps
from grease, water and humidity
and avoid excessive exposure to
sunlight.
Water-resistance.
Oris tests all its watches to
ensure that they comply with
the specified figure for water-
resistance. All Oris watches are
water-resistant to at least 3 bar
or 30 metres. The actual figure
on individual models is either
shown on the case back and/or
on the dial.
Oris watches designated with less
than 10 bar or 100 m (328 ft.)
water-resistance must not be worn
in the water (see graph below).
Oris watches designated as 10
bar (100 m) or more can be worn
in water.
