The Obaku Chia Lille V298LDCWMC embodies the refined minimalism that defines Danish design philosophy. This women's quartz timepiece features a pristine white dial housed within a 34mm stainless steel case, presenting a perfectly proportioned silhouette that sits elegantly on the wrist. The signature Milanese mesh bracelet, woven from polished stainless steel, delivers exceptional comfort and a contemporary aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to evening wear. A discreet date window at 3 o'clock provides practical functionality without compromising the clean dial architecture, while slender black hands and Arabic numeral indices ensure legibility at a glance.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and mesh bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, moisture, and debris.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, which may damage seals or finish.
- Remove your watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the 3 ATM rating is not suitable for immersion.
- Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- For deeper cleaning of the mesh bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Store your Obaku watch in its original presentation box when not wearing it, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when required to maintain water resistance and proper sealing.
- Avoid impact, dropping, or knocking the watch against hard surfaces, which may damage the mineral crystal or internal movement.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, wind or activate it monthly to ensure the movement remains lubricated and functional.
