Care Guide
- Wipe the case and resin strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove perspiration, moisture, and dirt.
- For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry completely. Never submerge the watch deliberately for cleaning purposes.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or harsh chemicals including solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these may damage the resin case and strap.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as this model is not designed for aquatic use.
- Resin straps may gradually stiffen or discolour with extended exposure to UV light and body oils. This is normal wear and the strap can be replaced when necessary.
- When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields.
- If the watch stops functioning or timekeeping becomes inaccurate, visit our boutique for battery testing and replacement by a qualified technician.
- Avoid impacts, drops, and crushing pressure, as the resin case and crystal may crack or scratch under excessive force.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty. All servicing should be performed by authorised technicians.
