USER MANUAL Grandprix Detomaso

Foreword Congratulations for purchasing your new DETOMASO-WALTZ special edition watch. You are now the new owner of a high precision time keeper characte- rised by its innovative design. We keep a long term stock of the most important spare parts for all our wat- ches, guaranteeing repair over a period of many years. In order to ensure that your new watch functions properly for many years, please read the following instructions carefully.13

Waterproof properties The water resistance of your DETOMASO watch has been tested to be 5 ATM. This means that it is splashproof and that you may wash your hands or take a bath with it. However, the watch is not to be worn in the shower or when swim- ming or diving. Waterproofness is not a permanent characteristic; it should be tested annually and in particular before the watch is put under exceptional strain, as the seals deteriorate gradually with daily use. The seals are an impor- tant factor in guaranteeing the waterproofness of a watch. These age naturally and are also affected by perspiration and acids. ISO 2281 stipulates which standards have to be met by a new watch. The level of waterproofness is given in atm and noted on the base of the casing. Your DETOMASO watch has been tested and has a water resistance of 5 ATM. The specication „5 ATM” is not to be confused with the diving depth; it is simply the denition of the inspection pressure. An inspection pressure of 5 ATM is reached at a depth of 50 m. You cannot go diving with this watch. In some cases a short-term higher pressure than the guaranteed inspection pressure may be enforced on the seals, for example when swimming or diving into water. Watches are at particular risk when the wearer dives into water after sunbathing. The combination of the impact pressure with the negative pressure caused by the sudden drop in temperature can quite easily cause damage.14

Instructions for care Your watch is a high precision electronic and mechanical masterpiece and should serve you well for a long time. Please keep your watch away from magnetic elds, heat, water and chemicals. Do not submit it to sudden impact or abrasion. Watches should not be worn in bed. If a battery operated watch stops or the low battery indicator shows, it should be taken to a specialist as soon as possible to prevent the battery from causing damage in the watch or to the environment. Batteries should be replaced by a specialist at regular intervals of approx. 1 – 1 ½ years. The seals can then be checked and, if necessary, replaced at the same time. In the event of condensation forming underneath the glass (misting), the watch should be taken to a specialist as soon as possible to prevent the moisture from causing further damage. The crown should always be rmly pressed in or screwed tight during use.15
