Maintenance and Care

Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)

Your SAPPHERO watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM), making it suitable for daily use, hand washing, and short periods of swimming. However, to ensure its longevity:

• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water, such as showering, bathing, or diving, as hot water and steam can compromise the seals.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Cleaning and Storage

• Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dirt and moisture.
• For leather straps, avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent damage and discoloration.
• Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by an LR44 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 proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SAPPHERO watch, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
  • The battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watch technician.
• Date Not Changing:
  • Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight.
  • Manually advance the date using the crown in the first click position.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
  • Ensure the chronograph is stopped before attempting to reset.
  • If hands are misaligned, some quartz chronographs allow for calibration. Refer to a professional watch technician if this feature is not explicitly detailed in your watch's specific manual.
• Water Inside Watch:
  • Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair shop to prevent further damage.
