Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental debris.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before any water contact.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products, as these may damage the movement or finish.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, avoid operating the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, particularly before summer swimming seasons.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of erratic timekeeping. Use only authorised service centres to maintain water resistance integrity and warranty validity.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Avoid impacts and shocks that may damage the movement or case. Remove your watch before engaging in contact sports or activities involving heavy vibration.
- Have your watch professionally serviced every 4-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the quartz movement.
- The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or materials harder than the crystal.
