2.2 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet.
3. Care and Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For the leather strap, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
3.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
3.3 Strap Care
The genuine leather strap may show signs of wear over time. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes stiff or dry, a small amount of leather conditioner can be applied.
