Care Guide
- Store your watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not being worn to protect from dust and scratches
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields which may affect movement accuracy
- Clean the stainless steel case gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth
- For the leather strap, wipe with a dry soft cloth only; avoid water contact as leather is porous and moisture can cause deterioration and discolouration
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as 3 ATM resistance is not suitable for immersion
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper resealing and water resistance maintenance
- Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products which can damage the case finish and leather strap
- If the watch stops working or the crown feels loose, visit Cassims & Co. for professional inspection and service
- Avoid impacts and knocks; while robust for daily wear, quartz movements can be damaged by severe shocks
- Replace the leather strap when signs of wear appear, such as cracking or discolouration, to maintain the watch's aesthetic appeal
