Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, oils, and dust.
- For deeper cleaning of the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and detergents.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when it runs low. Our team at Cassim & Co. can perform this service while maintaining the watch's water resistance seal.
- If you notice condensation under the crystal or any water ingress, discontinue use immediately and bring the watch to our service centre for inspection.
- Store your Festina in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. The original box provides ideal protection.
- We recommend having the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, particularly after battery replacement or any service work.
- While the mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, avoid impact with hard surfaces or abrasive materials to maintain its clarity.
- The gold-tone finish is durable but may show signs of wear over time with regular use. Professional refinishing services are available if needed.
