Care &
Maintenance Instructions: To maintain the pristine mechanical finish, precious gold luster, and airtight water defense of your Swiss automatic luxury timepiece, please observe these guidelines:
Mechanical Motion &
Winding Protocol: Since this is a self-winding mechanical watch with an extended power reserve, it requires regular bodily movement to stay wound. For optimal performance, wear the watch daily. If the watch has been stored in a safe or has completely stopped, gently pull the crown to its winding position and turn it clockwise 20 to 30 times before wearing to manual-wind and fully re-engage the 80-hour power reserve.
18
K Gold Bezel Care: Genuine 18K solid gold is naturally softer than marine-grade stainless steel. Avoid severe direct abrasive impacts, hard knocks against industrial metallic fixtures, or friction with rough surfaces to protect the precision-engineered fluting from premature rounding.
Chemical &
Cosmetic Avoidance: Prevent direct contact with volatile chemical solvents, industrial detergents, hairsprays, intense alcohol-based perfumes, or heavy cosmetic lotions, as chemical films can oxidize the steel joints and dull the natural radiance of the 18K gold facets.
Allergy Notice: Although the premium stainless steel alloy and solid 18K gold elements undergo comprehensive anti-allergenic filtering during manufacturing, individuals with hyper-sensitive skin profiles should monitor their skin and discontinue wear immediately if unexpected irritation occurs.
Pre-
Wear Inspection: Please thoroughly examine the structural finish, dial alignment, and secure clasp operation of the watch prior to initial wear, as post-wear service will be managed entirely via official certified factory channels.
