Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). It is suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling, but not for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water to maintain water resistance.

Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery is low, the second hand may jump in two-second intervals as an End-of-Life (EOL) indicator. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to avoid damage to the movement or case and to ensure water resistance is maintained.
Strap Care
The white leather strap is durable but can be affected by sweat, moisture, direct sunlight, and cosmetics. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If the strap gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
