Care Guide
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre every 2-3 years or when timekeeping becomes irregular. This ensures gaskets are properly resealed to maintain water resistance.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: After battery replacement or any case opening, have the water resistance tested. Avoid operating the crown or chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Rose Gold Plating Care: To preserve the rose gold PVD finish, avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, chlorine, and household chemicals. Remove your watch before applying lotions or fragrances.
- Crystal Care: While mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, avoid impacts against hard surfaces. If scratches occur, consult a professional polishing service.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields and extreme temperatures. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check that all bracelet links and pins are secure. If the bracelet becomes loose or uncomfortable, visit our boutique for adjustment.
- Regular Servicing: While quartz watches require less frequent servicing than mechanical movements, we recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance.
- Avoid Magnets: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, tablets) as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
