Q: How often does the quartz movement require a battery replacement?

Care guide
- Store your Longines watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes and solvents
- Clean the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal gently with a soft, lint-free cloth
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged contact with water, moisture, or direct sunlight, as this can cause discolouration and deterioration
- Condition the leather strap occasionally with a specialist leather cream to maintain suppleness
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years, or when the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals
- We recommend a professional service every 4-5 years to ensure the movement continues to perform optimally
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this may compromise water resistance and void warranty coverage
- If the watch stops working or shows signs of moisture under the crystal, bring it to our boutique immediately for inspection
