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.

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.
