1 Introduction
Special recommendations
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 fresh water
afterwards.
Shocks: whether thermal or other, avoid them.
Screw-down crown: screw down the crown carefully to prevent
water from penetrating the mechanism.
Non Screw-down crown: push it back into the neutral position
to prevent water from entering the mechanism.
Cleaning: for metal bracelets and water-resistant cases, use a tooth-
brush with soapy water to clean and a soft cloth for drying.
Chemical products: avoid direct contact with solvents, deter-
gents, 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 tempera-
ture changes.
Water resistance: a watch's water resistance cannot be per-
manently guaranteed. It may 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 approved OMEGA
service agent.
Chronograph push-pieces: do not operate chronograph pushers
under water in order to prevent water entering the mechanism.
Exception: The Seamaster 300 m and 600 m Chronographs have
pushers which function under water.


1 Introduction

English
Special recommendations
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 serviced every 4 to 5 years, depending on the conditions
in which it is used.

Who should I contact for a maintenance service or bat-

tery replacement?
We recommend that you contact an approved OMEGA service centre
or authorised OMEGA retailer, as they are the only entities equipped
with the tools and apparatus required to carry out the work and the
necessary checks in a professional manner. Furthermore, only these
entities can guarantee that their work is carried out in accordance
with OMEGA's strict quality standards.

Environmental protection

Collection and treatment of end of life Quartz watches*

This symbol indicates that this product should not be
disposed of with household waste. It has to be returned
to a local authorised collection system. By following this
procedure you will contribute to the protection of the environ-
ment and human health. The recycling of the materials will help to
conserve natural resources.
* valid in EU member states and in any countries with correspon-
ding legislation.


1 Introduction
Leather straps
OMEGA recommends that you follow the steps below in order
to preserve the condition of your leather strap for as long as
possible:
– avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discoloura-
tion and deformation.
– avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the colour from
fading.
– do not forget that leather is permeable! Therefore avoid contact
with greasy substances and cosmetic products.
– if you have a problem with your leather strap, please contact your
nearest OMEGA retailer!

1 Introduction
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.

1 Introduction
Screw-down crown d
Some watches are fitted with a screw-down crown which must be
unscrewed to alter the date and time. After use, push the crown
into position 1 then press and screw the crown back down, failure
to screw the crown down will compromise water resistance.

If the watch is not being 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
from stopping.
During manual winding (crown in position 1) or when worn (self-
winding), the power reserve indicator hand moves clockwise.

English
Self-winding chronograph
This indicator operates simulta-
neously with the chronograph
hands. Each circle on the display
corresponds to 1 minute.
For a regatta, the chronograph
should be started at the warning
signal by pressing pusher A.
If the 5 circles on the display have changed colour to blue, this means
that 5 minutes have elapsed since the warning signal. Once the cir-
cles have changed to red, this means that 10 minutes have elapsed
and that the starting line can be crossed.
Í NB: if the chronograph function is stopped, the regatta function
also stops, since the two functions are synchronised.
Note: for calibre 3602, there is a second version in which the chro-
nograph push-buttons are on diametrically opposite sides. In this
case, push-button A is at 8 o’clock instead of 2 o’clock, and push-
button B is at 10 o’clock instead of 4 o’clock.

Apnea function (calibre 3601)

In addition to the hours and
minutes hands, this movement
has an indicator that displays the
elapsed time of a dive. This indi-
cator operates simultaneously
with the chronograph seconds
hand. Each circle on the display
corresponds to 1 minute.

Before a dive, the chronograph should be started. Once the 7 circles
on the display have changed to red, this means that 7 minutes have
elapsed. Once the red colour has disappeared from the 7 circles this
means that 7 more minutes have elapsed.

Perpetual calendar

 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 (for
example 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. However, even this is not totally sufficient,
since it leaves an error of one day every 400 years. Therefore, if the
number of the year is divisible by 400 it is a leap year, as was the
case with the year 2000. Because of this, the perpetual calendar of
your watch is set to function correctly until 2100.

Thermocompensation
This movement is 10 times more precise than a conventional quartz
movement thanks to an electronic module that compensates for the
effects of temperature on the movement’s operation.

The crown has 3 positions:

Watch functions:
1.1. Neutral position 1, normal when the watch is worn:
in this position, the crown ensures that the watch is water-
resistant.
1.2. Setting the hands, minutes and seconds:
Pull the crown out to position 3 when the second hand is at 12
o’clock. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown forwards or
backwards to set the minute hand. Push the crown back into
position 1 to coincide with a given time.
Í NB: To avoid inadvertently changing the date when setting
the time, it is important to always follow point 1.2 and then
point 1.3.

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 automa-
tically when switching from AM to PM, or the contrary, depen-
ding on the direction the crown is turned. Then push the crown
back to position 1.
Í Important: when setting the date, it is essential to check the
date. If need be, pass midday (no date change) or midnight
(date changes) to make sure the time is set in AM or PM as
appropriate.
Note: corrections in position 3 have no effect on the date, even
if the hour hand passes midday or midnight. The watch stores
the date in its memory (including whether AM or PM) before the
time is reset. Setting the hours, minutes and seconds, around
midnight and midday may therefore result in the calendar shif-
ting by 12 hours.
2. Checking and correcting the calendar: month, yearly
cycle and date.
2.1. Display and correction of the month.
Press and hold the crown in position 0 for more than 3 seconds,
the month will be displayed for 8 seconds (B). 1 = January, 2 =
February, ..., 12 = December. The month can be corrected during
these 8 seconds. Pull the crown out to position 2, turn the hour
hand through one full revolution. The month will move forwards
or backwards.
Repeat the procedure until the required month is displayed, then
put the crown back to position 1.

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. To
do so, pull the crown out to position 2, turn the hour hand
through one full revolution. The year cycle will move forwards
or backwards.
Repeat the procedure until the required yearly cycle is dis-
played. Push the crown back to position 1.
The calendar continues to function and displays the date A.
See point 1.3. for how to correct the date.
2.3. Changing the time zone or daylight saving time: pull
the crown out to position 2 and turn it. Only the hour hand will
move forwards or backwards, without affecting the minutes or
seconds. Push the crown back to position 1.

Note: the end of battery life is indicated by the seconds hand

making 4-second jumps. The watch will continue to function for
several days, but the battery must be removed and replaced by an
authorised OMEGA service agent as soon as possible.
Once the watch stops, a memory function stores the date for one

OMEGA watches bearing the chronometer inscription (in accor-
dance with the certificate issued by your authorised OMEGA retai-
ler) are high-precision timepieces that have passed the precision
tests of the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle

Helium escape valve
Your OMEGA Seamaster Professional Diver is the watch for pro-
fessional 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.

Helium escape valve (fig. 1)

Why a helium escape valve? Air

the pressure at the working depth. The divers, still inside the bell,
are then lowered to the working site. They leave the bell to carry
out their work.
Once their work is complete, they re-enter the bell, which is then
raised to the surface. Pressure is then returned to atmospheric levels
and this is when the valve must be opened (only for deep-sea dives
lasting several days).
The helium molecules diffuse and penetrate the material of the
gaskets. The quantity is sufficient to push out the crystal during
the return to atmospheric pressure. To avoid this, the Seamaster
Professional Diver is equipped with a valve specially developed
by OMEGA.

Helium escape valve
How to use the helium escape valve? (fig. 2)
In its normal position (fig. 2.1), the OMEGA helium escape valve
is perfectly watertight thanks to the gaskets (B), but it is not func-
tional, since it is screwed down.

fig. 2.1 fig. 2.2 fig. 2.3

B
C A

fig. 2

During the decompression phase, unscrew the crown of the valve in

order to release the mechanism (fig. 2.2). The valve is now water-
tight from the outside. As the interior pressure becomes greater than
the exterior pressure, it pushes the gasket A out of its seating, thus
releasing the gas (fig. 2.3). Once the pressure is equalised, gasket A
returns to its original position, pushed by the spring C (fig. 2.2).
This operation is automatically repeated several times during the
decompression phase. Once atmospheric pressure is reached, screw
down the crown of the valve (fig. 2.1).
Note: even if the valve is unscrewed, and we recommend that
the valve remains screwed down whenever the watch is immersed
in water, the watch is still water resistant to 50 metres. However,
complete water resistance is guaranteed by gasket (B) when the
valve is screwed down.

clasp, should be used. For your own peace of mind and conve-
nience, 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.

Closing (fig. 1/2)

Place your OMEGA watch
on your wrist and close the clasp
by pushing with the thumb, as
indicated in figure 1. Press in
the direction of the arrow and
not as indicated in figure 2.

from the holes (fig. 3). Adjust the strap as required and replace
the two studs in the holes (fig. 4). Try the watch for size and re-
adjust if necessary.
