l Do not sleep with your watch, an untimely shock (bedside table, headboard) is so quickly arrived.
l Avoid contact with chemicals, including perfumes or cosmetics that may attack the seal or discolor the watch.
l Keep your watch away from magnetic fields.

CLEANING A WATERPROOF WATCH, A DIVE WATCH:

l Attention, if your case is waterproof, the bracelet is not.
l Use a soft brush (toothbrush), slightly damp, soap and scrub gently.
l Dry using a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
CLEAN WATCH NOT WATERPROOF:
l Detach the bracelet from its case
l Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to rub the case
l A soft brush will be useful for more stubborn soils
l Use the soft damp cloth again to complete the cleaning
l Spend a dry cloth on your watch for drying.
GIVING LIFE TO THE GLASS OF YOUR WATCH:
In order to erase the bumps that have occurred over time and other micro-scratches, use half a dab of toothpaste on a soft pad and rub without forcing the glass concentrically. The toothpaste will smoothly polish the glass. Take care not to put toothpaste anywhere else than on the glass of your watch. The results are surprising.
In case of deep scratches, only the change of the glass will be possible.
MAINTAIN WATCH BRACELET:
l Metal bracelet or rubber: if you clean quartz bracelet watches, cleaning with a soft brush and soap will be sufficient. Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
l Leather strap: use clear water and very little soap on a soft brush to degrease the bracelet (outer and inner side). Emphasize the seams. A soft cloth will be used to rinse the bracelet. Let it air dry at room temperature. It is advisable not to wear a leather strap every day to allow, from time to time, the body moisture to evaporate.
