Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental residue.
- For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Ensure the watch is completely dry before storing.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or strong magnetic fields, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water to prevent corrosion and maintain seal integrity.
- Never operate the buttons whilst the watch is submerged or wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing near mothballs or other chemicals.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the display becomes dim or functions become sluggish. Battery replacement should include a water-resistance test.
- Avoid impact and contact with hard surfaces that may scratch the mineral crystal or damage the case.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, ensure it is stored in a location with moderate humidity to prevent internal condensation.
