Wash dirty areas with a toothbrush dipped in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Can I wear my watch while swimming?

It depends on the water resistance level. 'WATER RESISTANT 50M' (5 bar) watches are suitable for swimming, but not for diving. Check the indication.

Is the watch anti-magnetic?

Yes, up to 60 Gauss. Strong magnetic fields (such as those from household appliances) do not affect the watch, but intense exposure may temporarily alter accuracy.

What battery does the watch use?

The watch uses a button cell battery. The exact type is not specified in the manual; consult an authorized repairer for replacement.

Can I replace the battery myself?

It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized service center to avoid damaging the water resistance.

The words “WATER RESISTANT” may sometimes be abbreviated to “WATER RESIST”.

• 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.

Water
Skin-diving	Scuba diving	Water-resistance characteristics
NO	NO	Not water resistant. Must be kept away from water and moisture
NO	NO	Average water resistance. Can withstand spray, sweat, light rain, washing, etc. during daily use
NO	NO	Can be worn while swimming but not diving
YES	NO	Suitable for skin-diving
YES	YES	Suitable for scuba diving
*Always keep the crown in its normal position. *Fully tighten crown screw lock.

• 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.
