The leather strap can be damaged by moisture, and without confirmed water resistance specifications, it's best to remove the watch before swimming or showering.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, cosmetics, or cleaning products, as these can cause discolouration and deterioration. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using the original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Water Exposure: Remove your watch before swimming, showering, or engaging in water activities. Even if water resistance is present, leather straps should not be submerged.
- Chronograph Usage: Avoid operating the chronograph pushers underwater or when the crown is pulled out, as this can compromise the watch's integrity.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of reduced timekeeping accuracy. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services for all watches purchased from us.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your quartz watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as these can temporarily affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Timberland watch inspected every 3-4 years to ensure the case seals, movement, and overall condition remain optimal.
- Strap Conditioning: Occasionally treat the leather strap with a leather conditioner designed for watch straps to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, as this can affect the quartz movement's accuracy and damage the leather strap.
