Water Resistance Guidelines

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses an SR626SW battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may move erratically. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch box can provide suitable protection.
