Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Although highly durable, avoid unnecessary impacts or dropping the watch onto hard surfaces.
- Water Exposure: Rinse the watch and rubber strap with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pools to prevent residue build-up.
- Crown Operation: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before water exposure to maintain the 200m water resistance rating.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and rubber strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the rubber strap, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
- Magnetic Fields: While automatic movements have some magnetic resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, laptops, or magnetic clasps.
- Winding: If the watch has stopped due to inactivity, manually wind it by unscrewing the crown and rotating it clockwise approximately 20-30 times before wearing.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running.
- Strap Care: The rubber strap is highly durable but should be kept away from solvents, oils, and extreme heat which can degrade the material over time.
- Sapphire Crystal: While scratch-resistant, the sapphire crystal can crack under extreme impact. Avoid striking the watch face against hard surfaces.
- Professional Servicing: Have your watch serviced every 3-5 years by authorised technicians to maintain water resistance seals, lubricate the movement, and ensure optimal performance.
