2. Water Resistance:
This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not recommended for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch:
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals, as these can cause damage or discoloration. If the strap becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
2. Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery (included). When the watch stops running, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
3. Storage:
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.
