Care Guide
- Clean the gold-tone stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain lustre and remove fingerprints, oils, and daily residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals including perfumes, solvents, cleaning products, and cosmetics which may damage the finish or seals.
- Do not operate the buttons whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it is not designed for submersion.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not in use.
- If the display becomes dim or functions operate sluggishly, this indicates low battery. Have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified technician to prevent leakage damage.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as the digital module and resin crystal may be damaged by shock.
- Have the water resistance seals checked during battery replacement services to maintain protection against moisture ingress.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise the watch's integrity.
