How do I Start Omega Self-Winding Watches?

Omega self-winding watches are easy to operate.

The Omega Watch Company began in 1848 and continues to manufacture sports and dress watches for women and men. Sold at department stores and select jewelry stores worldwide, the company offers a wide variety of watch styles and functions. The Omega self-winding watch series features a power reserve of 50 hours and precision mechanics in styles available for both men and women. There are only a few steps required to start an Omega self-winding watch.

Instructions

1. Pull the small knob (the crown) on the right-hand side of the watch out until two clicks are heard.

2. Turn the crown in either direction until the correct date shows on the watch display.

3. Pull the crown out one additional click and turn in either direction until the correct time shows on the watch display.

4. Push the crown back to the side of the watch. If the watch has not been worn in over 55 hours, pull the crown out one click and wind until slight resistance is felt. Push the crown back in to the side of the watch.

5. Wind the watch any time it has not been worn for over 50 hours. If worn on a regular basis, the watch will maintain correct time and date without additional winding.
