2.2 Enrolamento manual
Your Omega Seamaster 2222.80 is an automatic mechanical watch. If the watch has stopped, it requires manual winding to initiate movement. To manually wind the watch:
- Desenrosque a coroa en sentido antihorario ata que saia á posición 1.
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the movement.
- The watch will then continue to wind itself through the motion of your wrist while worn. A full power reserve is approximately 48 hours.
2.3 Axuste da hora e da data
Para axustar a hora e a data no reloxo:
- Axuste da data: Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Axuste da hora: Pull the crown out to position 3. The seconds hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure precise time setting, synchronize with a reliable time source.
- Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 and screw it clockwise firmly against the case to ensure water resistance.
3. Funcionamento
3.1 Bisel xiratorio unidireccional
The Omega Seamaster 2222.80 features a unidirectional rotating bezel, which is a crucial safety feature for divers. It rotates only counter-clockwise to prevent accidental increases in dive time. To use the bezel:
- Aliña o marcador triangular do bisel coa agulla dos minutos ao comezo da túa inmersión ou evento cronometrado.
- The minute hand will then indicate the elapsed time against the bezel's scale.
- The unidirectional rotation ensures that if the bezel is accidentally moved, it will only indicate a shorter elapsed time, thus providing a safety margin for divers.
3.2 Resistencia á auga
Your Omega Seamaster 2222.80 is water resistant to 300 meters (1000 feet). This makes it suitable for professional diving, including scuba diving to a depth of 30 meters for up to 2 hours. To maintain water resistance:
- Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down against the case before exposing the watch to water.
- Non accione a coroa nin os pulsadores (se os leva) mentres o reloxo estea mergullado ou mollado.
- Despois da exposición á auga salgada, enxágüe ben o reloxo con auga limpa e séqueo cun pano suave.
Importante: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by aging gaskets or accidental impacts. Regular checks are recommended.
