4. Care and Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the display fades, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

4.3 Water Resistance (50 Meters)
This watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Do not operate the crown or buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
- Avoid: Hot water, steam (saunas, hot tubs), chemical exposure.
- Ensure: Crown is fully pushed in before contact with water.
