Special recommendations

What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides me with excel-

lent service for many years?

Magnetic ﬁelds: avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigera-

tors since they generate powerful magnetic ﬁelds which may damage it.

Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with fresh water after-

wards.

Shocks: whether they are thermal or other, avoid them.

Crown: push back the crown to its neutral position to prevent water from

penetrating into the mechanism.

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, per-

fumes, cosmetics, etc., since they may damage the bracelet, case or

gaskets.

Temperature: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures

(greater than 60°C or 140°F and less than 0°C or 32°F) or extreme tem-

perature changes.

Water-resistance: a watch's absolute water-resistance cannot be per-

manently guaranteed. It may notably be affected by the ageing of gas-

kets 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 pushers: do not operate chronograph pushers under water

in order to prevent water 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 ser-

viced every 4 to 5 years, depending on the conditions in which it is used.

Who should I contact for a maintenance service or battery replace-

ment?

We recommend that you contact an approved OMEGA service centre or

authorised OMEGA retailer. They are equipped with the tools and ap-

paratus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks in a pro-

fessional manner. Furthermore, these specialists can guarantee that their

work is carried out in accordance with OMEGA's strict quality standards.

A worn-out battery should be replaced as quickly as possible in order

to avoid the risk of leakage and consequent damage to the movement.

The type of battery is deﬁned on the guarantee card enclosed with your

watch.

OMEGA international warranty (valid for U.S.A. only)

Introduction

Your OMEGA®watch is warranted by OMEGA SA* for a period of

twenty-four (24) months from the date of purchase under the terms and

conditions of this warranty. The international OMEGA warranty covers

material and manufacturing defects existing at the time of delivery of

the purchased OMEGA watch ("defects"). The warranty only comes into

force if the warranty certiﬁcate is dated, fully and correctly completed

and stamped by an ofﬁcial OMEGA dealer ** ("valid warranty certiﬁ-

cate"). During the warranty period and by presenting the valid warranty

certiﬁcate, you will have the right to have any defect repaired free of

charge. In the event that repairs are unable to restore the normal condi-

tions of use of your OMEGA watch, OMEGA SA guarantees its repla-

cement by an OMEGA watch of identical or similar characteristics. The

warranty for the replacement watch ends twenty-four (24) months after

the date of purchase of the replaced watch.

This warranty does not cover:

• the life of the battery.

• normal wear and tear and ageing (for example scratched crystal;

alteration of the colour and/or material of non-metallic straps and

chains, such as leather, textile and rubber).

• any damage on any part of the watch resulting from abnormal/abu-

sive use, lack of care, negligence, accidents (knocks, dents, crushing,

broken crystal, etc.), incorrect use of the watch and non-observance

of the operating instructions provided by OMEGA SA.

• the OMEGA watch handled by non-authorised persons (for example

for battery replacement, service or repair) or which has been altered

in its original condition beyond OMEGA's control.

CEMENT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. YOUR
