Unfortunately, these things do happen from time to time. That's what the warranty is for. My Seamaster Pro which I bought new in 2005 had a tiny metal filing appear under the crystal after about three months. It was a quick and easy fix when I took it to an Omega service centre. Just take it back to your Omega outlet and they'll make it right.

·Have you ever looked in a watch movement before? 🙄
I suggest taking a loupe to the dial to see what issues you can find there. Also, check the alignment of the bezel, etc.
Overall, you may find some imperfections in your mass-produced watch.

··Hears dead people, not watch rotors.I'd be more upset with the red and black magic markers on the watch than microscopic pieces of dust.

·Got to agree with the OP, a new movement that has not been worked on before ( and even if it has) should not have any dust or particles in it, just a recipe for non consistent running if they are bouncing around in there.
I presume Omega have a clean room for assembly, even chinese watchmakers (respectable ones at least) have a clean room for assembly.
If it were much older its possible dried oil and other metal wear contaminants could make their presence known.
but then again I have plenty of watches 60 plus years old that when on opening are spotlessly clean, all a testement to good watch making practices and servicing times.
3 Years old? I would be sending it back for them to sort.

But this doesn't need a loupe, OP spotted it with the naked eye. It's an Omega, it's reasonable to expect there won't be obvious particles visible inside the exhibition caseback. You wouldn't accept visible dust on the dial, why should you accept it above the balance?
I'm sure they'll address it under warranty no problem.

·That will be an interesting conversation about a warranty repair for a speck of debris in the movement. Not a brand new watch and the OP may not even be the original owner. Sounds ridiculous to me, but maybe the OP will get lucky.

·Thanks for all the replies. I have a warranty, so I will take it to the service center to be checked. I also didn’t mention that the crown was replaced at an official Swatch Group service center two years ago. However, after the crown replacement, I didn’t notice any debris; it seems to have appeared suddenly. I’m also wondering if it was due to sloppy work from the authorized service center or something else.

·Just leave it.
Have you ever watched videos showing 300+m dive watches being serviced? They frequently have large amounts of dust and debris inside. It happens, even with water/dust resistant watches. I’d just stick to my usual service plan/routine.
