Warranty
- This Rotary watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.

- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, worn finish, or bracelet stretch.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown while submerged or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is not covered.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications will void the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, the original purchase receipt and warranty card must be presented.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Although water resistant to 5 ATM, do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, and never wear it in the shower, bath, or while swimming.
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. Leaving a depleted battery in the watch can cause leakage and damage.
- During battery replacement, request a water resistance check to ensure the seals and gaskets are still functioning properly.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Avoid impact and knocks to the watch, particularly to the crystal and crown. While robust, quartz movements can be affected by severe shocks.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, consider having the battery removed to prevent potential leakage damage.
- The gold-tone finish should be treated gently to preserve its appearance—avoid abrasive materials and excessive rubbing.
- For professional servicing, adjustments, or repairs, always consult an authorised Rotary service centre or bring your watch to Cassim & Co.
