Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes or brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming or diving.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes.
General Care
- Clean the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, solvents, or detergents, as these can damage the watch's finish and strap.
- Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the watch's accuracy.
Safety Information:
- Do not use while swimming or diving.

Battery Replacement
The watch uses one Lithium-metal battery (CR2016). When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
