Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming in shallow water. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and moisture. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the case, crystal, or strap.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect its accuracy and water resistance.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may jump. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and functionality.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case, to protect it from dust and scratches.
