Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and metal band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and perspiration. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
2. Water Resistance
Your watch has a specified water resistance rating. While it can withstand splashes or brief immersion, it is not suitable for diving or prolonged water activities unless explicitly stated otherwise. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating buttons or the crown while the watch is wet.
3. Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by one LR44 battery. When the watch stops or the chronograph functions become erratic, it is likely time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
4. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Use the original watch box or a soft pouch for protection.
