Temperature Care

Avoid exposing the watch to direct sunlight or leaving it in hot or cold places for long periods of time. High temperatures may shorten the life of the power cell, while low temperatures may cause time delay. In the latter case, however, accuracy will return when the watch is worn on the wrist again.

Shock-Resistant

The watch may be worn while playing golf or other activities, but avoid severe shocks such as dropping it on a hard surface.

Magnetic-Resistant

No problem should occur from using the watch around ordinary household electric appliances such as TV sets or steros. Keep away from magnets.

Chemical / Gas Resistant

Do not expose the watch to chemicals or gases for long periods.

Watch Cleaning

Stains and waterspots on the case, glass, or band should be removed with a soft cloth to prevent blemishes.

Water-Resistant Watches

Although water-resistant watches are warranted, steps should be taken to avoid damage that results from mishandling:

Do not operate the crown or push-button in the water or while the watch is wet. Tighten screw lock crown completely.

Should the watch become immersed in water, dry it off right away. If the watch comes in contact with salt water, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in warm fresh water to remove any trace of salt.

If a watch is wet from cleaning or by accident, never store it in a closed container. It should be dried immediately or taken to a watchmaker or jeweler if moisture is inside the case to prevent damage from rust.

Parts such as the crown, packing and other water-resistant materials should be replaced every year or two to insure water resistance.

Care for Metal Bracelets

To extend the life and maintain the good apperance of the metal watch bracelet, the following recommendations are given:

Be aware that since the watch and bracelet is worn next to the skin, it collects dust and perspiration and becomes soiled if not cleaned regularly. This is particulary true of the links or mesh of the bracelet.

Soil and rust, when present in a bracelet, are dissolved by perspiration and can cause staining of cuffs and irritation of the skin in some instances.

Heavy perspiration should be wiped off the watch and bracelet with a soft cloth.

The bracelet should be cleaned occasionally by using an old toothbrush and warm soapy water after which the soap is thoroughly rinsed with clear water and the bracelet dried completely. The foregoing manner of cleaning should not be done if the the watch is not water-resistant but should instead be done by your jeweler.

Care for Straps

Leather

Heavy perspiration, if not removed from a leather strap, can wash out the natural oils and cause the leather to become dry and deteriorate. Any moisture should be blotted with a soft dry cloth or paper towel and the strap allowed to dry naturally.

Salt residue and soil can be removed from the leather by cleaning with a dampened soft cloth and mild soap or saddle soap.

Occasionally, the inside surface of the strap should be cleaned by using a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.

The strap should always be worn a little loosely (one finger space between the wrist and strap) to allow air to circulate thus causing the moisture to evaporate.

Rubber

Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush.

Through cleaning, using the same method, should especially be done after use in salt water.

Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotion and salt can cause rubber to deteriorate if not removed.
