Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your OMG Watch Co. timepiece.

The watch

What makes an OMG Watch Co. timepiece different?

Every OMG Watch Co. timepiece features a patented UV-LED illumination system that gives the watch three completely different appearances, in daylight, under UV-LED illumination, and in the afterglow once the light deactivates. Each watch is also officially licensed by its fraternity, built around a 5-jewel Swiss quartz movement, and made to last.

What movement is in the watch?

Each timepiece is powered by a 5-jewel Swiss, gold-plated quartz movement with three hands. It is built for a battery life of up to five years under normal use, five full years of continuous timekeeping without a battery replacement.

What is the crystal made of?

The watch features hardened mineral crystal. Eighteen layers of proprietary aerospace UV-blocking technology help protect the dial and extend the life of the illumination system.

Is the watch water resistant?

Yes. The watch is water resistant to 10ATM (100 meters / 330 feet), suitable for boating, sailing, lap swimming, and shallow snorkeling. It is not a diver’s watch. Do not press the pusher underwater, and avoid hot tubs, saunas, and showers. Rinse with fresh water after salt-water exposure.

Is the watch officially licensed?

Yes. Every OMG Watch Co. timepiece is officially licensed through its fraternity’s licensing body. The crest and identity appear with full fraternal authorization.

UV-LED illumination

How does the UV-LED illumination work?

Press the pusher on the side of the watch to illuminate the dial for four seconds. The light then deactivates automatically, leaving a phosphor afterglow. The result is three different appearances: daylight, illumination, and afterglow.

How many times can I activate it?

The illumination battery is preprogrammed for more than 11,000 four-second activations. At ten activations per day, that is about 1,100 days, or roughly three years, of use.

Is the UV-LED safe for my eyes?

The coated crystal blocks UV-LED emissions from exiting the watch while allowing visible illumination through. Do not remove the UV device from the watchcase or direct it into unprotected eyes.

Battery

How long does the battery last?

The watch contains two batteries. The quartz movement battery has an estimated 60-month life. The illumination battery is preprogrammed for more than 11,000 activations.

How do I replace the battery?

We strongly recommend sending your timepiece to our authorized service team. Unauthorized repair voids the warranty. Start a repair request and we will send the next steps.

Care & maintenance

How do I care for the watch and strap?

Rinse the stainless-steel case and silicone strap with water as needed. Do not use abrasive soaps or chemicals on the crystal. Dry with a soft microfiber cloth and keep the watch away from extreme heat.

How do I change the strap?

The strap features quick-release pins. Pull the small knob on the strap pin to release tension on the lugs and slide the strap free. No tools are required.

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown to position two, turn it counterclockwise until the desired time appears, then push it back to position one. Always move the hands clockwise.

Returns & warranty

What is your return policy?

What does the warranty cover?

Every timepiece includes a one-year limited warranty covering material and manufacturing defects in the movement, dial, and hands. It does not cover normal wear, accidents, abuse, water damage, or damage to the crystal, strap, buckle, battery, or LED components.

How do I make a warranty claim?
