Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, or perspiration to prevent residue buildup.
- Wipe the case and rubber strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt.
- Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before water exposure to maintain the 100-metre water resistance seal.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Store the watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, electronic devices) to maintain movement accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or when the second hand begins jumping in intervals.
- Although the ceramic bezel is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impact with hard surfaces such as concrete or granite.
- We recommend a water resistance test every 2-3 years to ensure gasket integrity, available through our servicing department.
