3. Operating Instructions

This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This rating means the watch can be used during short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid pressing any buttons or operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used on the polyurethane strap, followed by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
