Scratch on anti-reflective coating?

N Newbie07

hello,

I’m new to this site and also new to watches. Recently I found a marking on my new Aqua Terra but I’m not sure if it’s a scratch on the glass itself or if the anti-reflective coating is peeled off. It’s the shiny spot close to the 4pm marker.

Can anyone tell me what it is and how can I fix it? Thanks.

It looks a bit like a bit dog dribble or a spit spot that's dried.
Have you tried to clean it off with a little rub and some dish washing liquid and a nice clean/new dish cloth and warm water.
I recommend you try that, and dry it off then report back.

May I know what year is your watch? I found the older AR coating (as late as 2015) is prone to scratch. The newer sapphire with AR coating (bought a brand new Omega in 2017) has much higher resistance.

This model only comes out around 2017 I think. Will the warranty cover this? Its probably not a watermark, as it’s not coming off. Must be scratch on the AR from somewhere, although I don’t exactly know how it got there
