Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, oils, and environmental residue that can dull the polished finish.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid Chemicals: Remove your watch before exposure to household chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, chlorine, or saltwater, as these can damage seals and corrode metal components.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your quartz watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, smartphones, magnetic clasps) which can temporarily affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Storage: When not wearing your AR11310, store it in its original box or a watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
- Crown Position: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in to the case to maintain the watch's water resistance integrity.
- Impact Protection: Although robustly constructed, avoid subjecting your watch to severe shocks or impacts that could damage the movement or crystal.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping. Have this done by an authorised service centre to maintain warranty coverage and water resistance.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 3-4 years to ensure gaskets, seals, and movement remain in optimal condition.
- Water Exposure: Whilst the watch offers some water resistance, we recommend avoiding prolonged water exposure unless the specific water resistance rating is confirmed. Always rinse with fresh water after any contact with saltwater or chlorinated water.
