Leather Strap Caution: Keep leather straps dry to prevent damage.
Special Attention for Embellishments: Clean diamond details with a soft, soapy brush, and feel free to wash rubber straps in soapy water.
Professional Servicing: Mechanical watches typically need servicing every two to three years, while quartz watches can go three to four years. However, consult your brand’s guidelines and consider your usage patterns.
Magnetic Fields, The Invisible Threat to Watch Precision: Modern life is full of magnetic sources. To protect your watch, keep it away from strong magnets found in everyday items. Note that certain models, like the Omega Master Chronometer, are immune to magnetization.
Storage is Important to Keep Your Watch Pristine: Store your watch in its original box or a watch winder to prevent scratches and maintain an automatic movement.
Protecting Your Watch’s Aesthetics and Function: Limit exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading, especially in vintage pieces, and to avoid reducing the battery life of quartz watches.
Chemical Avoidance: Perfumes and colognes can weaken leather straps. Apply fragrances and let them dry before wearing your watch.
DIY Repairs Warning: Unless you’re a watch expert, refrain from opening your watch. Internal exposure can lead to damage from dust and other particles.
WATER RESISTANCE
A Guide to Your Watch’s Capabilities:
3 ATM / 30m: Resistant to minor water exposure.
5 ATM / 50m: Safe for shallow water activities.
10 ATM / 100m: Fit for swimming and water sports.
20 ATM / 200m: Suitable for scuba diving.
30 ATM / 300m+: Designed for professional diving.
Water Resistance Awareness: Avoid immersing your watch in hot water, even if it’s water-resistant, as this can compromise the seals. A watch’s water resistance isn’t indefinite; it can diminish over time due to wear or impacts.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your luxury watch remains a timeless treasure. Remember to check the manufacturer’s instructions for brand-specific care tips.
