Proper care helps preserve the appearance, performance, and long-term value of your timepiece.
Daily Wear
- Avoid impacts, strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and contact with chemicals or cosmetics.
- Ensure the crown is fully secured before wear when the model uses a screw-down crown.
- Do not operate the crown, pushers, or bezel underwater.
Water Exposure
Water-resistance ratings apply under specific test conditions and can decline as seals age. Do not expose a pre-owned or vintage watch to water unless its water resistance has been recently tested by a qualified professional.
Cleaning & Storage
- Wipe the watch gently with a clean, soft cloth after wear.
- Store it in a dry, secure location away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the box, warranty card, booklets, spare links, and accessories together to preserve the full set.
Mechanical Watches
Service needs vary by model, age, and usage. If you notice unusual timekeeping, reduced power reserve, moisture, or difficulty operating the crown, stop wearing the watch and arrange a professional inspection.
