How to care for your watch

Your watch is a high-precision instrument which requires specific care and attention. Please follow our advice and maintenance recommendations.

  • After Diving
    After a dive always carefully rinse your watch with fresh water (preferably lukewarm and never hot) to eliminate the salt which over time can cause oxidations or affect the seals of the watch.
  • Screw-down Crowns
    Important: Remember to screw down all the crowns before diving and in any case after setting setting: time, dive profile, total dive time and the fly-no-fly indicator. This in order to prevent water or moisture getting into the case and movement.
  • Shocks
    Avoid violent impacts and knocks which could leave marks on your case and damage the internal mechanism of your watch.

  • Temperature
    Do not subject your watch to extreme temperatures (less than 0°C or greater than 60°C) or temperature changes.
  • Magnetic Fields
    Do not leave your watch near an electro-magnetic source, such as loudspeakers which could damage the mechanism of your watch.
  • Cleaning
    In order to care for your timepiece, use a small toothbrush and soapy water to clean your metal straps and the water-resistant cases, then rinse carefully with clean water. Dry with a soft rag.
  • Changing Date
    As a precaution, do not change the date between 8pm and 4am, as there is a high risk of mechanical breakage.
  • Servicing
    Over time, a watch may lose its water-resistance as seals become worn or if it suffers an accidental impact. We recommend you take your watch to one of our service centres every 4 years to check its water-resistance and its general condition.
