Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products that may damage the case, strap, or seals.
- Although water-resistant to 10 ATM, never operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the water-resistant seals.
- Rinse your watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Leather straps are natural materials that will patina over time. Avoid prolonged water exposure to extend strap life, and allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes wet.
- Clean the stainless steel case periodically with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove oils, dirt, and perspiration. Dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting the crystal from scratches.
- Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years by an authorised service centre to ensure water-resistant seals remain intact and the movement is functioning correctly.
- When the battery requires replacement, bring your watch to a qualified watchmaker or our boutique to ensure proper resealing and testing of water resistance after the procedure.
