Frequently Asked Questions - Eliros Moonphase Maurice Lacroix

How do I adjust the moon phases on my Eliros Moonphase watch?

To adjust the moon phase, pull the crown to position 2 (stop seconds), then turn it clockwise until the indicator shows the exact full moon. Then push the crown back to position 1 to set the current date, then to position 0. For a caliber ML37, use the dedicated corrector (VII) until the full moon is displayed, then press as many times as the number of days since the last full moon.

How do I manually wind a Maurice Lacroix automatic watch?

If the watch has not been worn for 24 hours or more, wind it by turning the crown in position 0 (not pulled out) clockwise about twenty turns. This is enough to restart the mechanism.

Is my watch water-resistant?

The Eliros Moonphase watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it resists splashes and rain, but not swimming or diving. Water resistance is not permanent: have it checked regularly.

Can I change the battery myself?

No, it is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Maurice Lacroix service center. Unauthorized intervention voids the warranty and may damage the movement.

How do I set the date and day?

Pull the crown to position 1. Turn it one way for the date, the other way for the day (depending on caliber). Caution: do not set the date between 8 PM and 4 AM for automatic watches, as this may damage the mechanism.

Does my watch have a chronograph?

The Eliros Moonphase model does not have a chronograph function. It displays hours, minutes, seconds, date, day, and moon phases.

How do I maintain my watch?

Clean the metal or rubber case with a soft toothbrush and soapy water, then dry with a soft cloth. Leather straps should be protected from water, grease, and sunlight. Avoid magnetic fields and shocks.

What should I do if the second hand jumps every 4 seconds?

This is the battery end-of-life function. Replace the battery immediately at an authorized center to avoid any damage.

What is the duration of the warranty?

The Maurice Lacroix international warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. It covers manufacturing defects, but not damage due to improper use (shocks, water, etc.) nor wear parts such as strap, glass, or battery.

How do I protect my watch from magnetic fields?

Avoid placing your watch near magnets, mobile phones, speakers, or any device generating a strong magnetic field. These can disturb the accuracy of the movement.

This limited warranty (hereinafter referred to as: the warranty) is extended by the manufacturer, Maurice Lacroix SA, Rue des Rangiers 21, CH-2350 Saignelégier (Switzerland). The limitations to the warranty are detailed below. Your Maurice Lacroix watch was manufactured using only quality materials and applying stringent production standards. Like all Maurice Lacroix watches, it was subjected to an individual quality control and complied with the demanding quality requirements stipulated by Maurice Lacroix SA.

For this reason, Maurice Lacroix SA extends a guarantee covering all manufacturing defects for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase.

This warranty entitles you to claim for the repair of all production defects arising during

the period of warranty, on condition that they are communicated without delay. In addition, the watch may be replaced at the manufacturer's discretion.

You can claim your entitlement under this manufacturer warranty from any authorised Maurice Lacroix retailer, from any Maurice Lacroix representative or any regional service centre, or directly from Maurice Lacroix SA.

This Warranty Certificate must bear the serial number and the reference number of the watch and the exact date of purchase.

Any recovery against Maurice Lacroix SA or the authorized Maurice Lacroix retailer shall in any case be limited expressly to the purchase price of the watch, regardless of whether the said recovery is based on the clauses of this warranty or on legal provisions.

5. SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRODUCT CARE

MAGNETIC FIELDS

So as not to affect the running of your watch, avoid placing it near magnetic fields created by objects such as magnets, mobile phones, speakers, etc.

SHOCKS

Avoid all types of shocks, whether physical, thermal or other.

TEMPERATURE

Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (over 60°C or 140°F and under 0°C or 32°F) or to sudden fluctuations in temperature.

SALT-WATER

Always rinse your watch with clear and fresh water afterwards.

CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Avoid all direct contact with all chemical products, solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, etc. which may damage the leather strap, the bracelet or the case.

ANTI-REFLECTIVE TREATMENT

The anti-reflective treatment of the sapphire crystal glass improves the visibility of the dial of the watch. Everyday wear can cause marks to appear (scratches, chips, etc.). These are considered normal and are not covered by the warranty.

CLEANING

Use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean metal bracelets, rubber straps and water-resistant cases and a soft cloth to dry them off afterwards.

LEATHER STRAPS

Protect leather straps from grease, water and humidity and avoid excessive exposure to sunlight.

BATTERIES

We recommend that you contact an official Maurice Lacroix service centre or official Maurice Lacroix retailer, as they are equipped with the tools and apparatus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks in a professional manner. A worn-out battery should be replaced immediately in order to reduce the risk of leakage and consequent damage to the movement.

WHAT ARE THE SERVICE INTERVALS?

Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your watch should be serviced regularly to ensure that it runs perfectly. We cannot say how often you should have your watch serviced as this depends on the model, the climate where you live and how you look after the watch yourself. As a rule, a watch should be serviced every 4-5 years, depending on the conditions in which it is worn.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION*

This symbol indicates that this product should not be disposed of with household waste. It has to be returned to a local authorised collection system. By following this procedure you will contribute to the protection of the environment and human health. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.

* Valid in the EU member states and in any countries with corresponding legislation.

WATER-RESISTANCE

The water-resistance cannot be guaranteed permanently. Everyday wear, ageing of seals or accidental shocks adversely affect the water-resistance of the watch. We recommend that you have the water-resistance

of your watch checked regularly by an official Maurice Lacroix service centre.

All Maurice Lacroix watches are water-resistant to at least 3 ATM.

Metres (m)	Feat (ft)	Atmosphere (ATM)
30 98.5 3			√	----
50 164 5			√	----
100 328 10			√ √	√ √			-
300 984 30			√ √	√ √ √
600 196 8 60			√ √	√ √ √

* The values given in feet or metres of immersion in water are equivalent to the measurement of pressure applied in tests according to the ISO 22810 standard.

6. KEY WORDS

Screw-in crown:

Some watches — usually those water-resistant to more than 5 ATM — can have a screw-in crown. Before being able to make any adjustments (change the date, set the time, etc.) the crown has to be unscrewed. To do so, please proceed as follows:

Power reserve indicator:

Some automatic watches have a power reserve indicator. If the watch is worn rarely or not at all the power reserve indicator will gradually decrease. When the watch is wound or worn the power reserve indicator will gradually increase.

End Of Life (EOL) function:

EOL function only features on some quartz movements and indicates the end of battery life. If the second hand starts to jump every 4 seconds, we recommend that you replace the battery immediately.

Tachymeter or tachymiler scale:

Some dials feature a tachymeter scale: it measures speed (in km per hour) for a covered distance of 1 km or 1 mile.

Example: 1000 meters covered in 45 seconds corresponds to a speed of 80km per hour.

Carat:

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats, one carat being equal to 0.20 gram.
