This quartz-powered watch features a striking black dial with gold-tone hour markers and hands, creating a bold contrast against the sleek two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet.

FAQ
Q: Is this DKNY Willoughby watch suitable for swimming?
A: With 50-metre water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday water exposure such as handwashing and light rain, but we do not recommend swimming or showering whilst wearing it. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater.
Q: What battery does the NY2542 use and how often will it need replacing?
A: This quartz chronograph uses a standard watch battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph function use. Our service team can replace the battery whilst maintaining the water resistance seal.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing when you purchase, or contact us for bracelet adjustment services.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, this watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer.
Q: What is the difference between this NY2542 model and other Willoughby references?
A: The NY2542 features a distinctive black dial with gold-tone accents on a two-tone stainless steel and gold-tone bracelet. Other Willoughby models may feature different dial colours, case finishes, or leather straps.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function on this watch?
A: The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph timing function, whilst the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. Never operate the pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The sleek 36mm case, refined black dial, and elegant two-tone bracelet make the Willoughby chronograph an excellent choice for both business and formal settings, whilst remaining versatile enough for everyday wear.

- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, crystal damage, or bracelet stretching.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and water resistance testing are not covered under warranty.
- Accidental damage, misuse, or water damage resulting from improper use (such as operating pushers underwater) is not covered.
- Any unauthorised repairs, modifications, or servicing by non-approved technicians will void the warranty.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For the two-tone stainless steel bracelet, clean occasionally with lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the gold-tone finish.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impact, which may affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Store your DKNY watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting the finish.
- Have the water resistance gaskets inspected and replaced every 2-3 years, particularly after battery replacement, to maintain the 50-metre water resistance rating.
- If the watch stops functioning or loses time accuracy, bring it to our service team for inspection. Do not attempt to open the case yourself, as this will void the warranty.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, and household chemicals, which may damage the case finish and bracelet over time.
