Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized TIMEX service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Strap Care
The watch features a genuine leather strap. Leather is a natural material and can be affected by moisture, sweat, and chemicals. Regular cleaning and conditioning can prolong its life. Avoid bending the strap excessively to prevent cracking.
