Care Guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth on the stainless steel components, ensuring the crown is pushed in fully.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: After exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Have the water resistance tested annually, especially before swimming season.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely after any adjustment. Do not operate the crown or chronograph pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in intervals, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker. This prevents potential leakage that could damage the movement.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnets, and chemicals. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check that all bracelet links and the clasp are secure. If you notice any looseness, visit our boutique for adjustment.
- Avoid Impact: Whilst robustly constructed, quartz watches should be protected from severe shocks and impacts that could damage the movement or crystal.
- Service Intervals: We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement check, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
