Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel band, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance Guidelines
Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. However, it is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
