Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration to prevent corrosion and maintain water resistance seals.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is underwater, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Clean the stainless steel case and rubber strap periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly before wearing.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you frequently use the watch in aquatic environments. Gaskets and seals degrade over time.

- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, which can interfere with quartz movement precision.
- If the watch crystal becomes scratched or cracked, have it replaced immediately to prevent moisture ingress.
- The rubber strap is durable but should be inspected regularly for cracks or wear. Replace if degradation is visible.
- Service the watch every 3-5 years at an authorised Victorinox service centre to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
