Special recommendations 4 What must I do to ensure that my OMEGA watch provides me with excellent service for many years? Magnetic fields: avoid placing your watch on loudspeakers or refrigerators, since they generate powerful magnetic fields. Swimming in the sea: always rinse your watch with warm water afterwards. Shocks: whether thermal or other, avoid them. Screw-in crown: screw in the crown carefully to prevent water from penetrating the mechanism.
English Special recommendations entirely on the model, the climate and the owner's individual care of the watch. As a general rule, a watch should be serviced every 4 to 5 years, depending on the conditions in which it is used.
Anti-reflective treatment t The anti-reflective treatment on both sides of the sapphire crystal improves the visibility of your watch’s dial. Wear and tear may cause marks to appear. These are considered normal and are therefore not covered by the warranty. 6 Screw-in crown d Some watches are fitted with a screw-in crown which should be unscrewed before use. After use, push the crown into position 1 then press and screw back in (water-resistance).

English Quartz chronograph CALIBRE 1270 (fig. X) The time functions (hours, minutes, seconds) are driven by a primary motor using traditional quartz watch technology. The chronograph functions are provided by a combination of quartz and mechanical technology. The chronograph hand, driven by a separate motor, makes 16 jumps per second. Its movement appears continuous and it can be read off the scale to within 1/10th of a second.
Quartz chronograph 14 CALIBRE 1270 (continued) • Pusher B: reset (after stopping). Note: Though the chronograph stops after 11 hours in order to conserve energy, it cannot be reset without pressing pusher A beforehand. CALIBRE 5200 The hour, minute, second and chronograph functions are powered by 4 motors using conventional quartz technology. The crown has three positions: Watch functions: 1.

Occasional winding: if the watch has not been worn for 44 hours or more, wind it up with the crown in position 1. 2.
English Manual & Self-winding watch Power reserve (continued) If the watch is not worn, or during periods of low activity, the power reserve indicator hand progressively moves anti-clockwise. If the power reserve indicator hand is pointing to below 1/4, this means that the watch’s power reserve is less than 10 hours. In this case, the watch should be worn or wound by hand to prevent it stopping.

Manual-winding chronograph CALIBRE 1866–Date and moon phase correction Date setting (small counter at 12 o'clock): press corrector C. 24 Setting the moon phase: press corrector D to move the disc into the full-moon position. Then determine how many days have elapsed since the last full moon (consult a calendar) and press the corrector the equivalent number of times. When the watch is running, the date and moon phase move forward automatically.
CALIBRE 1680 (fig. V) The particularity of the Gregorian calendar is that one day (29th February) is added to the year every four years to compensate for the length of the solar year, which is 365.242192 days, or almost 365 1/4 days. Such years are called leap years and their number (e.g. 1996) is divisible by 4. As the compensation of one day every four years is too much, every 100 years (2100, 2200, …) the year is not a leap year, even though it is divisible by four.
Perpetual calendar 26 1.3. Setting the date and hour hands: Pull the crown out to position 2. Then turn the crown: the hand moves in 1-hour jumps. If it is necessary to correct the date, (A), continue to turn the crown and the date will change automatically when switching from AM to PM, or the contrary, depending on the direction the crown is turned. Then push the crown back to position 1. Important: When setting the date, it is essential to check the date.
2.2. Display and correction of the yearly cycle. Following display of the month (cf. 2.1.), the calendar continues to function and the year cycle is displayed in Roman numerals for 8 seconds, (C). I = leap year +1 Example: 2005, 2009, 2013 II = leap year +2 Example: 2006, 2010, 2014 III = leap year +3 Example: 2007, 2011, 2015 IV = leap year Example: 2004, 2008, 2012 During these eight seconds, you can adjust the year cycle.
Self-winding GMT & GMT Chronograph 28 People travelling East, for example from London to Hong Kong, should pull the crown out to position 2 and move the hour hand forwards (in this case by 8 hours). The table above can be used to calculate any time difference. People travelling West, for example from London to New York, should pull the crown out to position 2 and move the hour hand backwards (in this case by 5 hours). The table above can be used to calculate any time difference.
Occasional winding: if the watch has not been worn for 44 hours (cal. 1128, 2628) or 55 hours (cal. 3603) or more, wind it up with the crown in position 1. 2. Setting the time zone: pull the crown out to position 2 and turn it. Only the hour hand moves (clockwise or anticlockwise), without affecting the precision of the minutes or seconds. If the hand moves past midnight, the date changes automatically. Push the crown back to position 1.
Self-winding GMT & GMT Chronograph 30 3. Setting the time: hours – minutes – seconds. Pull the crown to position 3. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown forwards or backwards. Synchronise the seconds by pushing the crown back to position 1 to coincide with a given time signal. SECOND TIME ZONE (calibre 1128, fig. VI) Thanks to the “24-hour” hand with its triangular point, travellers can read the time back home at a glance on the 24-hour scale on the rotating bezel.
Precision tolerances English U Omega mechanical watches with a certified chronometer movement Omega watches bearing the chronometer inscription (in accordance with the certificate issued by your authorised Omega retailer) are high-precision timepieces that have passed the precision tests of the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, COSC).
Precision tolerances 32 U The precision of a mechanical movement depends on the individual habits of the wearer and can therefore vary. A qualified Omega watchmaker can adjust the precision of a watch to within the Omega tolerances, which are from -1 to +6 seconds per day. Other Omega mechanical watches The majority of watches that do not have a chronometer certificate have average precision tolerances of between -1 and +11 seconds per day.
English Helium escape valve Your OMEGA Seamaster Professional Diver is the watch for professional and amateur divers, as well as demanding sportsmen and –women. A robust design, the new helium escape valve (exclusive OMEGA patent), together with all the protection systems, offer optimal security and reliability. In order to ensure that your watch remains watertight, we recommend that you have it checked by an authorised OMEGA partner every year. 33 Helium escape valve (fig.
Helium escape valve How to use the helium escape valve (fig. 2) 34 In its normal position (fig. 2.1), the OMEGA helium escape valve is perfectly watertight thanks to gasket (B), but it is not functional, since it is screwed in. B C fig. 2.1 A fig. 2.2 fig. 2 fig. 2.3 During the decompression phase, unscrew the crown of the valve in order to release the mechanism (fig. 2.2). The valve is now watertight from the outside.
English Tachymetric scale To read the time, the position of the central seconds hand is used. For observations over longer periods, the indications of the totalisers (hours and minutes) are also used. 35 Using the tachymetric scale Example: calculating the speed of a car. Record the time the car takes to cover a distance of 1 kilometre. Read off the speed on the tachymetric scale indicated by the central seconds hand. In this case, the car is travelling at 120 km/hr.
Rubber strap For your own peace of mind and convenience, we recommend that you have the length and position of your rubber bracelet adjusted by an authorised OMEGA service centre. 36 When adjusting the length of the strap, the clasp should be set in its shortest position. 1) Measure the circumference of the wrist using the flexible measure, placing the blank end over the graduated part. 2) Remove the metal connectors from the clasp by pushing in the two spring pins.
English Rubber strap 4) Insert the two spring pins in the holes in the rubber and attach the metal connector. 5) Insert the rubber sections with the connectors fitted into the steel clasp by pushing in the two spring pins. The side marked OMEGA should face the skin.
Foldover clasps 38 Only OMEGA leather straps, specially designed for this foldover clasp, should be used. For your own peace of mind and convenience, we recommend that you have your new clasp fitted by an authorised OMEGA service centre. You can always adjust the length of the bracelet yourself. a) Snap-fastening foldover clasps Opening To open your clasp, simply slide your finger or finger nail under the OMEGA fastener and pull up firmly. fig. 1 Closing (fig. 1, 2) fig.
