Why can t you wear an Omega waterproof watch for swimming

This mainly depends on the waterproof level of the watch, generally the waterproof level of less than 100 meters of the watch is not suitable for swimming, in addition to any watch can not be worn in the bath, except for hot water to inflate the back cover of the watch case, shampoo and soap bubbles will corrode the waterproof rubber ring in the back cover of the watch. Reduces the waterproofing performance.

Generally, it is just waterproof, so you can't take a bath, sweat or anything, it will cause a slight water ingress.

Generally speaking, there are only three places where water can enter the watch movement: the handle (handle), the watch mask and the back cover. The waterproof device is also installed in these three places: add a rubber ring to the shank, add a rubber ring on the threaded edge of the back cover of the sealing ring, shank and other parts, and make the surface tight.

Water and fog into the watch has the greatest impact on the watch movement, and it should be dealt with in time to prolong the service life of the watch. If not treated in time, the residual moisture will easily cause the internal movement to oxidize and rust, resulting in inaccurate watch timekeeping and watch failure.

If the watch is seriously flooded, please send it to the repair center immediately for treatment, otherwise it will cause many metal parts inside the movement to oxidize and rust due to water vapor, causing greater damage.

Water into the watch Generally, there is water mist or water droplets on the watch glass, which will corrode the movement after a long time, resulting in inaccurate or non-time, so the earlier the watch water ingress treatment time, the less damage to the movement, the recommended treatment method is as follows:

Law. 1. Place the vent - dry the watch with a dry paper towel and then place it in a cool and dry vent for a few hours, and do not place the watch directly in the sun or dry, which is to prevent water mist from flowing into the movement.

Law. 2. Silicone drying - for the water inlet of the mechanical watch, you can use the granular substance of silica gel to absorb water, put the two in a closed container, and take it out after a few hours, and the water mist inside will be cleaned up; If it is a quartz point clock, you can take a few small pieces of calcium chloride, wrap them in gauze, and then open the electronic watch cover and seal it.

Law. 3. Wipe oil and remove rust - method 1 and method 2 can only clear a slight water mist, and for some more serious water ingress, these two work earlier, which is not enough for the rescue time of the movement, at this time it is best to find a professional watch repair center for ** maintenance, oil wiping treatment.

OK. Theoretically, the standards for watch waterproofing include the following:

Rice water resistance refers to the waterproofing of life, such as rain, splashing, etc.

Rice water resistance means that you can wear your watch while taking a shower.

Rice water resistant for underwater swimming.

Rice water resistance refers to some professional diving watches that can be worn for diving.

50-meter water resistance (50m, 5atm, 5bar): Yes on the watch"50m"The worded watch, i.e. the 50-meter water-resistant watch, is a waterproof watch in the real meaning of consumers' minds, and can be used for swimming and general housework waterproof watches, remember not to adjust the watch in the water.

Generally speaking, round watches are best waterproof, followed by oval watches, and square or irregular watches are less waterproof, because the waterproof rubber ring and the round shape are the most tightly sealed.

Secondly, the material is also related, copper, aluminum or gold-filled materials will deteriorate after a long time, which will affect the waterproofness. In addition, the crown, back caseback, and glass rim are the main places where water enters, so the design of the watch itself also has an absolute negative influence.

There will be some unavoidable phenomena in the use of men's watches: the rubber band in the stem or stem tube will gradually wear out every day, and the glass of the OMEGA men's watch will expand and contract due to temperature, which will cause a gap between it and the case; Deterioration of the water-resistant rubber ring on the back cover or corrosion due to sweat can make the OMEGA Men's watch less water-resistant.

Therefore, the general Omega men's watch should never be worn to swim or take a bath. Even when washing clothes, washing dishes, and cooking, you should also pay attention not to splash water on the Omega Male Watch or let the water vapor into the watch, otherwise the parts in the watch will rust when exposed to water, affect the quality of the time, and even lose the use value.

Waterproof watches are divided into ordinary waterproof and professional waterproof. A normal waterproof watch can only protect against water splashes, while a professionally waterproof watch can withstand soaking in water at different depths.

The waterproof of the watch depends on the waterproof rubber ring on the glass, back cover, handle, etc. to meet the corresponding standards. All water-resistant watches are marked "water" on the case back

resistant" or "water."

proof". Watches without waterproof markings are only dustproof and should be protected from water. 30

Meters (3atm, i.e. 3 atmospheres) water-resistant watch that can be used for daily grooming or rain, i.e. water droplets splash only on the surface without any water pressure being added to the watch. 50

The meter water resistance can be used for swimming and general household chores, and the 100-meter water resistance can be used for underwater work such as swimming and diving.

Generally, the waterproof specifications of watches are divided into the following types: 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters, and 500 meters.

30 meters: refers to the general life waterproof, that is, the water droplets splashed when washing hands, and the raindrops that fall when it rains lightly, but pay attention to not be too long, and can not be worn in the sauna.

50 meters: There is no difference between it and 30 meters, it can be ignored.

100 meters: You can take him to wash the car and shower, but not to soak in the water.

300m: Swimming is possible, but only for shallow swimming. (Don't take it for granted.)

At 300 meters. ）

500 meters: This level can only dive underwater, that is, left and right, there may be more, but don't do it according to the established value, maybe that's the limit of what your watch can bear, so don't use this method to test the performance of the watch.

The waterproof rating of the watch is like this:

30 meters, 50 meters water resistance, it means suitable for daily use, not for swimming or soaking in water; Resistant to small amounts of hand washing, face washing, splashing water and rain.

100-meter water resistance, which means it is suitable for short swimming in the shallows, not for diving or snorkeling.

200-meter water resistance, which stands for is meant to be suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

300-meter water resistance, which means it is suitable for high-impact sports in the water and some diving activities, such as snorkeling.

The waterproof level of each series of Omega watches is different, such as the Constellation and Butterfly series, which can only be used daily, and some models of the Seamaster and Speedmaster can be used for swimming. The specific situation depends on the waterproof rating on the back of the watch.

Omega watches can be wetted. The water-resistance of an OMEGA watch depends on the waterproof rubber rings on the glass, back cover, handle, etc.

standards. All waterproof watches are stamped with the words "water resistant" or "water proof" on the case back.

Watches without waterproof markings are only dustproof and should be protected from water. The 30-metre (3atm, or 3 atm) water-resistant watch can be used for daily grooming or rain, i.e. water droplets are splashed on the surface without any water pressure being added to the watch.

Watch bai water, mirror fog du solution:

Use a few layers of toilet paper or moisture-absorbing flannel cloth to wrap the watch bag tightly and bake it under a light bulb.

It takes about 30 minutes to eliminate the water mist inside, but do not put it close to the bulb or bake it directly, so as not to cause the surface to be deformed by heating.

Wear the surface inwards and the bottom case outwards on your wrist to remove the mist from the surface after a few hours.

If you have silicone, you can put the silicone and the watch in water into a closed container, and after a few hours, take the watch out again, and the water mist in the watch will disappear.

If the water ingress of the watch is serious, it is best to send it to a watch shop to wipe the oil and eliminate the water in the watch to avoid rust on the parts of the watch.

Hello, glad to answer for you.

Daily repair methods for water ingress in the watch:

1. Dry the granules with silica gel. Not small.

If there is water in the case, you can use a granular substance called silicone to put it in a closed container with the watch that has accumulated water, and after a few hours, take out the watch and the water will disappear. This method is simple and economical, and there is no damage to the accuracy and longevity of the watch. The silica gel that has been absorbed many times can be dried at 120 degrees for several hours, and the water absorption capacity is renewable, and it can be used again and again.

2. Bake with a light bulb. If the water ingress is not serious, but there is a layer of fog in the surface glass, then you can use several layers of toilet paper or flannel cloth that is easy to absorb moisture to wrap the watch tightly, and bake it at a distance of 15 cm from a 40-watt light bulb for about 30 minutes to eliminate the moisture. Do not bake the watch mask directly close to the fire, so as not to deform the watch by heating.

3. Wear the watch backwards. You can also put the mask facing inwards and the bottom shell facing outward, and wear it on the wrist backwards, and the moisture can be eliminated after two hours. If the water ingress is severe. (It is not recommended to use the above methods to deal with it, it is recommended to go to the after-sales center for maintenance).

The water ingress of the watch should be dealt with in time, otherwise the water ingress for too long will damage the internal parts of the watch, resulting in rust of the movement parts, and these parts are very sophisticated watch configurations. If the watch gets water, it is recommended that you take the watch to a service center immediately to avoid further damage to the watch.

Generally speaking, it can be soaked in a little water, but it cannot be soaked for a long time or in the deep sea with strong water pressure.

The watch enters the water to deal with the improper method since 1、Pull the head away and put it in the rice jar。

Ladies and gentlemen

Don't do it. Rice does absorb moisture. However, if dust enters the case, it will affect the operation of the movement and the movement time, and cause irreparable damage to the watch;

2. Dry with a hair dryer or high-temperature bulb.

This is not advisable. The oil inside the movement is volatile in a high-temperature environment, which affects the lubrication of the wheel train.

The above methods seem reasonable and practical, but none of these methods can completely remove the moisture and moisture in the watch. It can even cause damage to the watch again.
