OMEGA SMP300 on rubber band how to clean

Hello everyone i have this smp300 for under 2 years and i have noticed white stains kinda like bath salts especially in the crevices under the bezel etc. Are those corrosion or something dangerous to the watch? how can i clean them? tried toothbrush with soap and dish soap but nothing worked. thank you so much

Have you taken the watch into saltwater without rinsing it thoroughly in fresh water after? If so, this could be mineral deposits left from the evaporated salt water. And that could lead to corrosion down the line. One should ALWAYS rinse a watch with fresh water after immersion in salt water, even if it is just for a few minutes.

it also looks like you may have some hard water deposits on the side, probably from your tap water. Get a jug of distilled water and use that for cleaning, not tap water. My tap water also has a lot of minerals, so I keep a jug of distilled water specifically for cleaning my watches!

i have never worn it to the sea. Probably hard tap water. Should i send it for a service in order to clean the salt deposits or is there no need yet?

No need for a service. Just get some distilled water to wash it with the brush. That should clean it up.
