Your watch will require care and regular maintenance to ensure its accuracy and to protect its appearance. Each brand and model of watch has its own specific care guidelines and you should refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.CARING FOR YOUR WATCH
Use a soft slightly damp cloth to clean metal watch cases and bracelets. Avoid getting leather straps wet, as moisture can damage the appearance of the strap. Don’t immerse your watch in hot water. Even if your watch is water resistant, hot water can damage the gaskets. Diamonds can be gently scrubbed with a soapy brush and rubber straps can be immersed in soapy water.
