How to clean your watch?
To keep the watch looking good, clean the case and bracelet using soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. You can also use a toothbrush to clean your watch. Be sure to choose a brush with soft bristles to avoid scratching the watch case or bracelet.
To clean the leather bracelet, first wash it with clean water and then rub it with a soft brush and a little soap. Clean with a soft cloth and allow drying.
Bracelet care
The original leather bracelets last an average of 12 to 18 months under normal conditions of use. Its useful life depends on several factors, such as skin acidity, perspiration, and contact with chemicals, weather conditions, climate and humidity.
To keep your leather bracelet in good condition, we recommend that you clean the leather bracelet daily with a dry cloth. If you have a very active life, particularly involving frequent exposure to salt water and excessive sweating, we recommend a steel bracelet or rubber bracelet. Keep in mind that the color and flexibility of leather are subject to change over time and exposure to external elements.
To be avoided
Be careful not to mistake midday for midnight. Do not expose the watch to chemicals, solvents or gases, as they can cause deterioration, discoloration and damage to the case. Do not apply cosmetics or perfumes directly on the box, leather strap or metal strap. Avoid high temperatures and strong magnetic fields.
To avoid any infiltration of water or dust, make sure that the watch has undergone a water resistance check during the last 18 months.
