Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or any chemicals to prevent corrosion and maintain bracelet integrity.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured before any water exposure to maintain the 30 bar water resistance rating.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown whilst the watch is underwater, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- Have the water resistance gaskets tested and replaced every 2-3 years, particularly if the watch is regularly used for aquatic activities.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution, paying attention to the bracelet links where debris can accumulate.
- Store the watch in a dry environment away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight when not in use.
- Service the quartz movement according to Tissot's recommended intervals, typically every 4-5 years, to ensure optimal chronograph performance and longevity.
- If the chronograph hands do not return precisely to zero position after use, this indicates service is required—contact our specialists for professional technical support.
- Replace the battery promptly when the seconds hand begins jumping in multi-second intervals (end-of-life indicator), and always have this performed by an authorised service centre to maintain warranty validity.
- Avoid dropping or impacting the watch against hard surfaces, as this can affect chronograph mechanism accuracy and potentially damage the sapphire crystal or bezel alignment.
