Setting the day & Date
Please try not to set the day or date while the hour hand is positioned in the top half of the dial (ie between 9 and 3) as this may upset the watch’s internal calendar and cause the mechanism to jam. Always set the time/date by moving the hands in a clockwise direction.
Winding
Please ensure your watch is OFF your wrist when using the crown. This avoids undue sideways pressure on the stem/tube which could cause damage and breakage over time.
Battery
It is important – especially in hot, humid climates – to replace the watch battery quickly after your watch stops. Failing to do so, or leaving a flat battery in a movement for too long after it has stopped can allow the battery to leak and damage the movement. This can become an expensive repair.
Battery replacement can be done at our Service Centre or via a certified watch maker. In the case of waterproof watches, it is always recommended to have the watch pressure tested at the same time to ensure the movement is protected from moisture.
Bands
Some watches have partially water proof leather straps, however a massive steel or silicone strap is the better choice if your lifestyle revolves around water! Leather straps will wear at a faster rate than rubber or steel bands. This rate of wear varies depending upon environmental conditions and how the watch is worn; moisture and sweat contribute to leather degeneration.
General care
They key point is to treat your watch with care and it will function more reliably for a longer time.
