Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden impacts that may affect movement accuracy.
- The 30-metre water resistance rating means the watch can withstand splashes and rain, but should not be worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports.
- Clean the stainless-steel case and mesh bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- For deeper cleaning of the mesh bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then rinse and dry completely. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before any water contact.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker every 2-3 years, or when you notice the seconds hand jumping or timekeeping becoming erratic. Battery replacement also provides an opportunity to check gasket integrity.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or pouch is ideal for preventing scratches.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these may damage the finish or gaskets.
- Although quartz movements require minimal servicing, we recommend a professional inspection every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- The diamond markers are securely set, but avoid striking the dial against hard surfaces to prevent any potential damage to the settings.
