Omega doesn’t produce batteries so it’s kind of like blaming Samsung if the batteries leak in their television remote control. In my experience the batteries haven’t leaked until years after they’ve died but I realize others have had different results and humidity and moisture can be a factor.

Swatch Group does produce batteries in their Renata unit; see this thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/exploded-battery-some-good-news.117372/ for the experience of @lillatroll. If it was the original battery that came with the watch out a replacement Renata, you might consider pursuing a claim.

Well thanks to this thread I am now going to sell my 10+ Omegas and never buy another one. Thanks for the heads-up!

That watch was thrown in a draw when the battery died.

That looks like it needs a thorough service as it’s got dirt (wrist cheese) on the case front lugs. Watches need to be serviced, and it will come back like new after one.

The Tudor needs a service also if it hasn’t had one in years. Take that to Rolex and see how much they quote for a service 😀

PS - there's no such thing as a "leak proof" battery...

The smallest problem with that watch is the consequences from the leaked battery. The watch suffers greatly from a different kind of battery, bordering on assault!

Judging by the pictures I was going to give this a 'like' for 'most neglected watch shown on OF, EVER'.🤨

When the battery is exhausted and can no longer move the pointer, small currents inside it lead to oxidation of the parts and battery leakage. Therefore, if the watch has stopped, it is necessary to either replace the battery with a new one or remove the old one.

I’d tend to say “troll”...
Also, does thst paper sheet say Tissot inside the watch depiction on the bottom?
Not very convincing
