Watch Care Guide

Keep your timepiece performing and looking its best.

Daily Wear

Your timepiece is built for everyday use, but a few simple habits will keep it in top condition. Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields (speakers, phone cases with magnets), or harsh chemicals (perfume, cleaning products). Put your watch on after applying cologne or sunscreen, not before.

Cleaning

Clean your watch regularly to maintain its appearance.

• Case and bracelet: Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
• Crystal: Clean the sapphire crystal with a microfiber cloth. Sapphire is highly scratch-resistant, but can accumulate fingerprints and oils.
• Bracelet links: Use a soft brush (like a clean toothbrush) to remove dirt between bracelet links. Rinse briefly under lukewarm water and dry completely.
• Leather straps: Avoid water contact. Wipe with a dry cloth and allow to air out. Replace when showing signs of wear.

Water Resistance

Your watch is rated at 5ATM (50 meters). This makes it suitable for:

• Hand washing
• Light rain exposure
• Accidental splashes

Not recommended for: swimming, diving, showering, saunas, or hot tubs. Water resistance can degrade over time; avoid pressing buttons or adjusting the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.

Automatic Movement Care

Your watch is powered by a self-winding automatic movement. Here are some tips to keep it running accurately:

• Wear it regularly: The movement winds itself through your wrist motion. Wearing it daily keeps the mainspring charged.
• Power reserve: When fully wound, the movement will run for approximately 41 hours. If the watch stops, manually wind the crown clockwise 20 to 30 turns to restart it.
• Setting the time: Pull the crown to the time-setting position and turn it to set the correct time. Push the crown back in when done. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date mechanism is engaged.
• Accuracy: Automatic movements may gain or lose a few seconds per day. This is normal for mechanical timekeeping.

Storage

• Store your watch in its original box or a watch case when not wearing it.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
• If you have multiple watches, consider a watch winder to keep automatic movements running.
• Avoid storing near magnets, phones, or electronic devices.

Service

We recommend having your watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance. A full service typically includes movement cleaning, lubrication, water resistance testing, and timing adjustment.
