Caring for your Timepiece

Case & Materials

Our 316L stainless steel cases are hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant, while the 18k double-plated gold finish offers lasting brilliance. To preserve this finish, avoid exposure to chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and rough surfaces.

Wipe the case gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after each wear. For occasional deep cleaning, use a lightly dampened cloth with warm water (no detergents), then dry immediately.

Sapphire Crystal

The sapphire crystal is highly resistant to scratches. Nonetheless, it should be protected from sharp impacts and contact with harder materials such as diamonds or ceramics.

Water Resistance 

Your timepiece is rated 5 ATM (30 metres approx) for water resistance.

This means:

  • It is safe for everyday wear, including hand washing and light rain.

  • It is not suitable for bathing, diving, snorkeling, or hot water exposure (such as showers or saunas).

  • Always ensure the crown is fully secured before water contact.

  • We recommend a professional water resistance check annually or after battery replacement to maintain sealing integrity.

Genuine Leather Strap Care

Your timepiece features a genuine leather strap, selected for its quality, character, and comfort. Leather is a natural material that requires specific care:

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, direct sunlight, or high humidity, which may cause fading, warping, or premature aging.

  • Remove your watch during exercise, bathing, or swimming to preserve the strap.

  • Allow leather to air dry if it becomes damp—never apply direct heat.

  • Clean gently with a dry soft cloth. Use leather conditioner sparingly and only if recommended for the specific leather used.

Leather will naturally develop a patina over time, adding character unique to you.

Battery & Movement

Our Swiss are crafted for accuracy and longevity.

  • Typical battery life is 18 to 36 months, depending on usage.

  • If your watch stops or the seconds hand jumps intermittently, it may indicate low battery.

  • Please have batteries replaced by an authorised watchmaker to maintain water resistance and warranty coverage.
