FAQ
Q: How does the solar movement work?
A: The solar movement converts light energy from any source into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable cell. Once fully charged, the watch will run for several months even in complete darkness, eliminating the need for regular battery replacements.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement and will it fit my wrist?
A: While the case diameter is 39mm, the exact lug-to-lug measurement is not confirmed. However, the 39mm case size is considered versatile and typically suits wrist sizes from 15cm to 20cm comfortably. We recommend visiting our boutique for a fitting.
Q: Can I swim and shower with this watch?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and showering. However, we do not recommend operating the crown underwater or exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.
Q: How do I change the bracelet using the quick-release system?
A: The quick-release spring bars allow you to change straps without tools. Simply pull the small lever on the spring bar while gently pulling the strap away from the lug. Replacement straps can be fitted by reversing this process.
Q: Is the sapphire crystal completely scratch-proof?
A: Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and will withstand daily wear exceptionally well. However, it is not completely scratchproof and can be damaged by materials of equal or greater hardness, such as diamond or certain ceramics.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Tissot warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Tissot retailer, every watch we sell comes with the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty, which covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Will the luminous markers glow all night?
A: The applied indices and hands feature luminescent material that glows after exposure to light. The intensity and duration depend on the charge received, typically providing visibility for several hours in darkness.
