Omega Pictograms

[Tools]

When you get yourself a modern Omega, It comes with some nice accessories. A warranty card, A Chronometer card if a Chronometer, and a Pictogram card.

There is a lot of good information on the Pictogram card..

Here are a couple from a Seamaster and a Speedmaster:



Across the top on the Speedy card it shows:
1. Sapphire Crystal
2. Anti-reflective coating inside only (a AA in a circle would indicate coating inside and out)
3. Manual wind
4. Waterproof to 50 meters
5. Tachymeter equipped.

On the Seamaster Card:
1. Self winding
2. Sapphire crystal
3. Screw-in Crown
4. Anti-reflective coating, inside only
5. Waterproof to 300 meters
6. Helium release Valve
7. COSC Certified.

and that last little pictogram by the Omega is the type of box. A #3 box for the SMP and (unshown) a SP (special limited edition) box for the Speedy

Learn as much as you can about the time-piece you strap on..

Really useful Larry. I will go and dig mine out.

That's a heck of a long reference number on the Speedie.

Thanks for the info, Larry.

At LEAST 7 years ago.
I bought my Seamaster Professional Titanium in 2000 and it had the pictograms.

Also, the big number in the box right by the Omega logo indicates the warranty length.
3 indicates 3 years warranty, 1 indicates 1 year warranty etc.

I bought my SMP in May, 2000. It's serial number is 60194XXX. The warranty card is cream, not red, and is 1-year; there is no Pictogram card. It must predate yours from a 2000 purchase. However, based on this thread, I DID notice something I overlooked before. On the cream hangtag with the price, the reverse has the model, serial number, caliber, and the symbols that are shown on your card, including the rotor, sapphire crystal, screw-in crown, AR coating, 300m and Helium Valve! Do the watches with the Pictogram cards also have this on the tags?

Mine has the cream little tag with all the crap on the back also.
But it did come with the red pictogram card as well.

Cool post, Larry!

Thanks for sharing!

That's cool It seems Omega gives you more than than Rolex in the way of bits. The card is a good example. It tells you about your watch.

Also you can get the chrono certificate for your watch

I think My Hamilton came with more than My Rolex

Yup. My 5 YO SMP has the card.

I don't think so, unless I have a SIX year warranty? Co-axial are supposed to have three year. Any other ideas?

Also, what is the weird picto circled? I notice too that mine does not have the COSC logo even though it is a COSC watch. Very confusing

[Lol-x]

There is a pictogram legend inside your massive Omega Owner's Manual. That should tell you what each symbol signifies
Maybe they changed the warranty period to 6 days Good Luck Chris

Hi there!

The pictogram with number in the box (the one that has a "6" on your card) is NOT the warranty length. It merely states the correct "generation" of the box (both inner & outer boxes) that came with your watch. Each generation of boxes (aka: packaging) has a number. Your card merely indicates that your watch should come with packaging materials #6. If you check on your outer box you should see a small golden lettering somewhere on the side (I think) that indicates the box's number. Both the number on the box and the card should match.

The number next to it on the left (the "2") states that your watch should have come with the instructions-booklet/manual number 2 (also a numbering system of booklet "generations" with Omega).

And the pictogram you have circled with the weird looking symbol on it states that your watch features the Co-Axial escapement (the symbol looks like the "3-legged anchor" used by the Co-Axial system). Since your watch comes with the Cal. 2500 (as stated on the card), the Co-Axial pictogram is correct.

And you probably received a 3rd card with your watch that stands for the COSC certification, thus the COSC pictogram is not featured on the "main card"...

Hope this helps...

I think all Co-Axial Omegas are COSC. Therefore it would be redundant.
