Can I wear an Omega stainless steel watch if I am allergic to nickel?
The materials used by Omega are subjected to severe tests in order to avoid this problem. The stainless steel used by Omega does contain nickel, but this must first be transferred from the material to the skin before an allergy is triggered. Our stainless steel is so stable that it does not release nickel and is therefore safe for allergy sufferers. The only exception is for those who are hyper-sensitive to stainless steel, i.e. those who cannot cook or eat with stainless steel utensils. In this case, we recommend you buy a watch which is made of titanium.
