Some tips taking care on Your watch
Like any high-precision instrument, a watch needs to be serviced regularly in order to work perfectly.
Some faq:
Question: How often should I service my watch?
Answer: By making a daily normal use the period for making a regular service is 3,5 years. In case of harder use (swimming, sports, etc.) regular service must be made more frequently.
Question: Why does my winder break?
Perspiration, humidity and non-hermetic closing of the casing are the main reasons for winder breakages.
Question: How do I send you my watch for repair?
Answer: You pack your watch in a box that we recommend you fill it up with plastic bubbles in order to protect it during transportation. We recommend not to send the original watch box in case it gets accidentally misplaced.
Some tips:
- Keep you watch clean. Dust and dirt tend to collect in gaps in the back of the case or band.
- Clean the watch occasionally. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe off dirt, perspiration and water from
the case and crystal.
- Do not use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature.
(above 60A°C, or 140A°F, below 0A°C, or 32A°F) or extreme temperature changes.
- Never open the watch yourself.
- Whether thermal or other Shocks avoid them.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
- Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products etc.,
since they may damage the bracelet, the case or the gaskets.

cosmetic products.

- If your watch has a screw-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
- Do not operate the crown with wet fingers or when the watch is wet.
- Water may enter the watch and compromise water resistance.
Water Resistance
The water-resistance is guaranteed by several seals but cannot be considered as permanent protection. They are subject to a natural aging process and need to be replaced after a certain time of use. However, under certain circumstances, the integrity of the moisture resistance may become compromised within a shorter period of time.
Furthermore, impacts to the crown can influence the water-resistance as well.
A perfect long-term protection is given by annual water-resistance tests. - To ensure water-resistance, gaskets must be replaced every 24 months a part of maintenance.
- If moisture has entered the watch, or it the inside to the crystal is fogged up and does not become
- Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discoloration and deformation.
- Leaving the watch in such a state will allow corrosion to form inside.
