The Festina Boyfriend F20504/2 is a distinguished ladies' quartz timepiece that seamlessly blends refined femininity with robust engineering. Crafted from 316L stainless steel in a sophisticated two-tone finish—combining polished yellow gold PVD plating with brushed stainless steel—this 34.5mm watch offers exceptional wrist presence without overwhelming delicate proportions. The mother-of-pearl dial, adorned with twelve diamond hour markers and a practical date window at 3 o'clock, captures light with iridescent beauty, while the luminous hands ensure legibility in all conditions. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this timepiece is equally at home in the boardroom or by the pool.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised FESTINA retailer, ensuring every Boyfriend watch carries the full manufacturer's warranty and provenance documentation. The Swiss-inspired precision of Festina's quartz movement delivers accuracy within seconds per month, housed within a mineral crystal that resists everyday scratching.

This is a watch designed for the modern woman who appreciates technical excellence wrapped in timeless aesthetics.
Festina's Boyfriend collection reimagines classic watchmaking codes through a contemporary lens, and the F20504/2 exemplifies this philosophy. The round case profile, measuring just under 35mm, strikes an ideal balance between vintage proportion and modern wearability.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers the Festina Boyfriend F20504/2?
A: This watch features a precision quartz movement powered by a replaceable battery. Quartz movements are renowned for their accuracy, typically varying by only a few seconds per month, and require minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement every 2-3 years.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: Yes. With 100 metres of water resistance, the Festina Boyfriend F20504/2 is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water sports. However, avoid operating the crown while the watch is submerged, and ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water exposure.
Q: Are the diamonds on the dial genuine?
A: Yes, the twelve hour markers are set with genuine diamonds, adding both intrinsic value and refined elegance to the mother-of-pearl dial. Each stone is individually set during the manufacturing process to Festina's exacting quality standards.
Q: What is the case diameter, and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: The case measures 34.5mm in diameter, which is considered an ideal size for ladies' watches. This dimension provides excellent legibility and presence while remaining proportionate on smaller to medium-sized wrists. The integrated bracelet can be professionally sized at our boutique for a perfect fit.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years, depending on usage patterns and the specific functions employed. Cassim & Co. offers professional battery replacement services, and we recommend having the watch pressure-tested after each battery change to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Is the gold finish on the case and bracelet plated or solid gold?
A: The yellow gold elements feature PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) plating over stainless steel. PVD is a superior plating technology that bonds gold at the molecular level, offering exceptional durability and resistance to wear compared to traditional electroplating methods.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised FESTINA retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty documentation and proof of purchase will be provided at the time of sale.

- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal or bracelet, damage resulting from accidents, impacts, or misuse, water damage caused by improper use or failure to ensure the crown was properly secured, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft of the watch.
- Warranty Validation: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised FESTINA retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase and completed warranty documentation must be presented for any warranty claims.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, as these may damage seals or affect the finish.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Although water-resistant to 100 metres, ensure the crown is fully pushed in and never operate it while the watch is wet or submerged. Have water resistance tested annually, especially after battery replacement.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the metal bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial Care: The natural mother-of-pearl dial is delicate and should never be exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Avoid direct impact to the crystal, as shock can damage the dial surface.
- Gold Plating Preservation: While PVD plating is highly durable, avoid abrasive contact with hard surfaces. Remove your watch before engaging in activities that may scratch the case or bracelet, such as heavy lifting or contact sports.
- Storage: When not worn, store your Festina in a dry environment away from direct sunlight. Use the original box or a dedicated watch case to prevent scratching and dust accumulation.
- Battery Replacement: When the second hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals or the watch stops, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker. Delaying replacement may result in battery leakage and movement damage.
- Bracelet Adjustment: Professional sizing is recommended to maintain bracelet integrity. Our boutique offers complimentary sizing services to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
- Service Intervals: While quartz watches require less frequent servicing than mechanical movements, we recommend a complete service every 5-7 years to clean, lubricate, and replace seals, ensuring longevity and water resistance.
