No worries. The watch will be fine:). In fact keeping the bracelet clean from what I understand can help prevent stretch.

Awesome Omega. Sounds like it's ok. I wash mine weekly though.
I put it in a bowl filled with water and a little dish washing soap for about ten minutes to loosen the dirt up then use a toothbrush all over the place, rinse well, then dry it and done.

Only thing I'd be worried about is the bezel.

I suppose the soap could make it fade quicker than it would naturally over time.
