Care Guide
- Wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, perspiration, and oils that can accumulate during daily wear.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or harsh chemicals including solvents, perfumes, and cleaning agents, as these can degrade the resin material.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself. Battery replacements and internal servicing should only be performed by qualified watchmakers to maintain water resistance and prevent damage to the movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields when not in use. Avoid leaving it in hot vehicles or humid environments.
- Although water resistant, remove the watch before showering, swimming, or any activity involving water submersion. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly if exposed to salt water or chlorinated water.
- Do not press any buttons or operate the crown while the watch is wet, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- If the watch stops running or timekeeping becomes erratic, bring it to our servicing team for a battery check and professional assessment.
- The resin strap may show signs of wear over time. Replacement straps are available through Cassim & Co. to refresh the watch's appearance.
