• In order to prevent water coming into contact with the internal mechanism, never pull the crown out when the watch is wet.
• If any watches designed for sportswear or use in water come into contact with salt water or heavy sweating, they should be rinsed in fresh water and dried thoroughly.
• Contact with water may cause a deterioration in the quality of some leather straps.

• As the internal parts of the watch can retain moisture, when the outside temperature is lower than the inside, the watch glass may mist-up. This phenomenon is purely temporary and should not create any problems. However, if it persists for any length of time, the watch should be checked by the shop where it was purchased or by the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Impact

This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally imparted by non-contact sports such as golf and baseball. Serious damage, however, may result if the watch is dropped or subjected to severe shock.

Magnetic fields

This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields, its operation may be temporarily affected.

Chemicals and gases

Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances.

Parts of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with benzol or petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergents, adhesives etc.

Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals.

The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from a broken thermometer or other equipment.

Keeping the watch clean

Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass.

Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin irritation.

Keeping the watch clean also keeps shirt cuffs clean.

Cleaning the watch strap.

Metal bands: use a toothbrush and soapy warm water to wash the dirt off.
- Plastic or rubber straps: wash with water. Do not use solvents.
- Leather straps: gently rub the face of the strap using a soft dry cloth. Clean the opposite side with a cloth and alcohol.

Periodic inspection

In order to guarantee long trouble-free operation, it is advisable to have the watch checked by an authorised assistance centre once every 12 months or two years.

If your watch is fitted with a quartz movement

Temperature

Do not leave the watch exposed to direct sunlight or temperature extremes for long periods of time.

Long exposure, in fact, may adversely affect the operation of the watch and actually shorten battery life, causing it to gain or lose time and affect its other functions.

Static electricity

The integrated circuits present inside the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If the watch is exposed to intense electrical fields, the time display may temporarily lose some of its accuracy.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children

In order to improve the product, the technical specifications may be modified without prior notice.

GUARANTEE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

TWO-YEAR LIMITED INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

The manufacturer warrants this watch to its original purchaser for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase and warrants this watch against defects in the material and workmanship. The warranty does not prejudice the purchaser's lawful rights on the subject of warranty provided for by regulation in force in the country of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage to the watch due to normal wear and tear, modifications made to the case, strap, bracelet or crystal of the watch, or any moisture damage to the watch (if not marked "water resistant" on the back of the case of the watch). This warranty does not cover damage to the watch due to accidents, negligence, improper use or other factors that are not related to defects in material or workmanship. Only the movement, hands and dial of the watch are covered by this warranty. Any repairs to such parts shall be made free of charge or the watch will be replaced (at the sole discretion of the BREIL Authorized Service Center) if it is confirmed that a defect in the material or workmanship was the cause of such damage rather than improper use of the watch by the purchaser. In case of replacement, Binda does not guarantee that the same model of watch will be supplied. If the same model is not available, a similar model of equivalent value shall be supplied. The warranty on the replacement watch supplied shall be valid for a period of two years from the date of delivery. The retailer accepts responsibility for all other forms of warranties offered to the consumer.

In the United States, a charge of US $10 shall apply to cover shipping and handling for returns within the United States. Estimates for the costs of shipping to an international address must be obtained separately.

SERVICE REQUEST

If there is a problem with the watch, the purchaser is asked to send the original fully filled in copy of the certificate of warranty, the receipt or other suitable proof of purchase and a

description of the problem along with the watch to the nearest BREIL Authorized Service Center. To find out the locations of the nearest BREIL Authorized Service Centers, the purchaser may contact the Official BINDA ITALIA Distributors listed on the Warranty Certificate and/or the branches, or if in Italy, call the toll-free number 800 930 970. Postage, packing and insurance costs are borne solely by the purchaser. We recommend that the package be insured because the purchaser is responsible for sending the watch to a BREIL Authorized Service Center for any repairs to be made to the watch. The purchaser must also make sure that the watch is properly protected during shipment. It is also requested that the watch be sent without its case. Service repairs at BREIL Authorized Service Centers for parts not covered by this warranty, such as the battery, crystal, case, crown, bracelet or strap replacement will be invoiced to the purchaser at cost. The amount of such charge may be subject to variations. The purchaser can telephone the BREIL Authorized Service Center to obtain an estimate of the cost of such repairs.

APPLICABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

NO IMPLIED WARRANTYES SHALL APPLY TO THE WATCH, INCLUDING WARRANTYES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND SUITABILITY, FOR A PERIOD LONGER THAN THE TWO (2) YEAR DURATION OF THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES AND IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MANUFACTURER'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE WATCH.

Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of any implied warranty, nor do they allow exclusions or limitations of consequential or incidental damages. Therefore, the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to the purchaser. This warranty offers specific legal rights, but the purchaser may have other rights that vary from State to State. No company or person is authorized to modify the terms of this warranty.
