How Often Should You Service Your Omega?
For mechanical and automatic Omega watches, most watchmakers recommend a full service every 5โ8 years, depending on how often the watch is worn and the conditions it's exposed to. Omega's co-axial escapement is engineered to require less frequent lubrication than a traditional lever escapement โ but the lubricants still degrade, and the movement still needs periodic care.
Quartz Omega models need a battery check every 2โ3 years and a full movement service every 8โ10 years.
Signs Your Omega May Need Servicing
- Running more than ยฑ15 seconds per day: Beyond acceptable tolerance โ a sign the movement needs regulation or a full service
- Unusual sounds: Grinding, ticking irregularity, or a loose rotor sound suggest worn components
- Stiff crown: Worn or swollen crown gasket, or a dry winding mechanism
- Moisture inside the crystal: Water ingress โ needs immediate attention before corrosion sets in
- Power reserve shorter than rated: Mainspring or winding mechanism wear
- Magnetic timekeeping errors: If the watch was near a strong magnet, demagnetisation (S$20) often solves the problem without a full service

Are We an Authorised Omega Service Centre?
No โ we are an independent watch repair service, not an authorised Omega or Swatch Group dealer.

For watches out of warranty, we provide professional independent servicing at significantly shorter turnaround times and more competitive pricing.
