GENERAL

To ensure your watch provides complete satisfaction for many years to come, please follow the instructions listed below:

  • Avoid any impact that might damage your watch or affect its running.
  • Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid leaving your watch exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes or any chemicals, since they may damage your watch’s components.
  • Make sure that the crown is always pushed back into the normal running position, to prevent moisture, water or dust penetrating into the case.
  • Never operate the crown or chronograph push-buttons when the watch is wet or underwater to prevent water penetrating into the case.
  • Use soapy water or soft cloth for cleaning metal bracelets. Rinse with clean water to eliminate washing residue. Never use cleaning or polishing agents.
  • Always rinse your watch in lukewarm water after use in a saline or chlorinated environment (sea water, swimming pool).

Leather Strap
