When many people are about to choose a "good watch" for themselves, they may have looked at many brands, and as a result, they still chose Omega. Omega is so popular in China, China is an important market or one of the important markets for Omega, and Omega has also made efforts for this market, so that a virtuous circle is formed. Do you own or want to own an OMEGA watch?My answer is "yes!".”

Omega is a famous Swiss watchmaker, the English name is Omega, named after the Greek letter "". Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt.

Omega "symbolizes the beginning and the end, the first and the last, similar to the Asian philosophical cycle of "the last means the beginning, and the end is the beginning". It represents the extraordinary quality of "Perfection, Perfection, Excellence and Achievement", and interprets OMEGA's business philosophy of "Excellence" and the spirit of "Advocating Tradition and Innovation".

Although it is said that there is no relevant authority in the world that has issued the so-called "Top 10 Watches" such a title. What is the Omega world ranking?Many people believe that Omega belongs to the second class of brands in the world watch rankings.

1. Do not disassemble and assemble without permission

Because the mechanical type of watch is composed of thousands of parts, it is also a fine instrument, so it is recommended that everyone do not disassemble and assemble it privately, once the liquid and ash are formed, the parts will be worn unnecessarily. In addition to preventing friction and collision with objects of excess or the same hardness when wearing them on a daily basis, it is also necessary to clean them regularly to maintain its superior decorative properties.

2. Keep away from magnetic fields

Avoid placing your watch above a megaphone or refrigerator as they have a strong magnetic field.

3. Keep away from chemical solvents

Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, etc., as they can erode the bracelet, case, and gaskets.

4. Ensure that the temperature is appropriate

Watches (quartz watches only) can operate with constant precision within the limits of 5°C and 35°C at room temperatures, and temperatures above 50°C can cause battery leakage or shorten battery life. Do not put the watch in the low temperature of -10 °C, because the cool air will cause the work to slow down or go fast, when the watch returns to normal temperature, the operation will be normal.

5. Maintenance leather strap:

It is recommended that you follow these steps:

Avoid contact with water and moisture to prevent discoloration and deformation.

Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent fading.

Remember that leather is permeable!Avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetics. It is not advisable to use a leather cleaner to clean your strap.
