Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to remove oils, perspiration, and daily residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cosmetics, which may damage seals, crystal, or finish over time.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as 5 ATM resistance is intended for splash protection only.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of slow timekeeping—typically every 2-3 years.
- We recommend a professional service inspection every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including gasket checks and water resistance testing.
- Avoid impacts, knocks, or dropping the watch, as the mineral crystal and movement can be damaged by shock.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in its original box or a padded watch case to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
