TEMPERA TURE CARE
Avoid temperatur e extremes. Exposing your watch to high
temperatures, such as placing it on the dashboar d of a vehicle
or use in a hot tub, may cause the watch to malfunction,
shorten battery life or damage certain components. Leaving
the watch in extreme cold temperatur es may cause irregular
timekeeping until the watch returns to normal operating
temperature.
SHOCK-RESIST ANT
The watch may be worn while playing golf or other activities,
but avoid severe shocks such as dr opping it on a hard surface.
MAGNETIC-RESIST ANT
No problem should occur fr om using the watch around
ordinary household electric appliances such as TV sets or
stereos. Keep away fr om magnets.
CHEMICAL/GAS RESIST ANT
Do not expose the watch to chemicals or gases for long
periods.
WA TCH CLEANING
Stains, waterspots and accumulated dirt on the case, crystal
or band should be removed with a soft cloth to pr event
damage and prematur e wear .
HANDLING OF WA TER-RESIST ANT WA TCHES
Although water -resistant watches ar e warranted, steps should
be taken to avoid damage that may result fr om
accidents or 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 thor oughly in warm fresh water to remove any
trace of salt.
■
If a watch is wet fr om 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 fr om rust.
■
Vital components necessary to resist the entrance of
moisture deteriorate with time and use. Gaskets, cr owns and
other materials should be replaced every year or two to ensur e

that water resistant quality r emains at factory specifications.
CARE FOR MET AL BRACELETS
T o extend the life and maintain the good appearance of the
metal watch bracelet, the following recommendations ar e
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 particularly true of the inner parts
of the links or mesh of the bracelet.
■
Soil and rust, when present in a bracelet, ar e 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 dry 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 watch is not water -resistant
but should instead be done by your jeweler .
CARE FOR STRAPS
LEA THER
■
Heavy perspiration, if not removed fr om 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 r emoved 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 wrist and strap) to allow air to circulate thus
causing any moisture to evaporate.
RUBBER
■
Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap
and warm water using a soft brush.
■
Thorough 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.
