Maintenance

Cleaning

• Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
• For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely.

Water Resistance

The DW-9052-2V is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This rating means it is suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports. It is not suitable for scuba diving. To maintain water resistance:

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect the water resistance gaskets.
• Have the gaskets checked periodically by an authorized service center, especially after several years of use.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses one CR2 battery, which typically lasts for approximately 2 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
