FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Festina Mademoiselle F20718/1?
A: This watch is powered by a reliable Miyota quartz movement, offering precision timekeeping with a battery life of approximately three years before replacement is required.
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial genuine?
A: Yes, the dial features genuine mother-of-pearl material, which creates the characteristic iridescent effect that shifts in different lighting conditions. Each dial exhibits unique natural patterning.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming?
A: With 50-metre water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday wear including handwashing and splashes. However, it is not designed for swimming, diving, or showering. We recommend avoiding operating the crown when wet and keeping it away from hot water.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. Our experienced team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit.
Q: What is the significance of the rose gold hands?
A: The rose-gold-tone hands complement the twelve rose-gold-ringed crystal hour markers, creating a cohesive two-tone aesthetic. This warm metallic accent provides elegant contrast against the cool mother-of-pearl dial and stainless steel case.
Q: How do I change the date on this watch?
A: Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate it to advance the date display. Avoid adjusting the date between 9pm and 3am, as this is when the automatic date-change mechanism is engaged and adjustment during this period may damage the movement.
Q: Does this watch come with the Festina international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Festina retailer, Cassim & Co. provides the full two-year international warranty with every Mademoiselle timepiece, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Festina watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case or bracelet defects arising from normal use.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage, accidental damage, damage from misuse or neglect, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, or servicing performed by unauthorised parties.
- Validity Requirement: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Festina retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase must be presented for any warranty claims.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under warranty. Cassim & Co. offers professional battery replacement services for all Festina timepieces.
- Water Resistance Testing: We recommend having water resistance tested whenever the case back is removed for battery replacement or servicing to maintain the integrity of the seals.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents which may damage the case finish or seals.
- Water Resistance: Whilst rated to 50 metres, never operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged. After contact with chlorinated or salt water, rinse gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically using a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. Dry completely with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the polished finish.
- Storage: When not wearing your timepiece, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original presentation box provides ideal protection against dust and moisture.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in multi-second intervals, bring it to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement. We recommend replacing the battery promptly to prevent potential leakage damage.
- Regular Servicing: Have your Festina inspected every two to three years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement maintains accurate timekeeping performance.
- Crystal Protection: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with harder materials such as diamonds, sapphire, or ceramic surfaces which may cause marks.
