Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the mesh bracelet, use lukewarm water with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a microfibre cloth.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and harsh cleaning agents which may damage the case material or affect the bracelet finish.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water activities, as it is rated for splash resistance only (3 Bar).
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn to preserve the dial and case materials.
- Avoid impact, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy or damage the quartz movement.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping to prevent potential leakage damage.
- During battery replacement, request a water resistance check to ensure the case seals remain intact.
- The transparent case may develop light surface scratches over time through normal wear; this is characteristic of the material and part of the watch's design patina.
- Avoid using abrasive polishing compounds on the transparent case as these may cause clouding or permanent damage to the finish.
