Caring For Your Piece:

• Your Automatic watch was designed to be lived in, worn out, and well-loved; below are some tips for extending the life of your watch while keeping it looking and performing its best along the way.

• Our Swiss Made watches are made from some of the most highest-quality, enduring materials available, including:

• - 316L Stainless Steel (Surgical Steel) - strong, hyperallergenic, beautiful in a variety of finishes.

• - PVD Coatings - durable coatings applied through Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD).

• - Sapphire Crystal - the most durable watch crystal in the industry and second hardest mineral on the planet.

316L Stainless Steel:

• Over time, stainless steel is suseptible to:

• - scratching,

• - scuffing,

• - denting.

• To avoid these issues:

• - Avoid damaging activities like sports or physical labour.

• - Polish your watch - send stainless steel watches for polishing around once every 12 months to lessen the appearance of scratches or light scuffs and improve the overall look.

• - Store properly - always store the watch in it's box or in a soft protected place.

PVD Coating:

• PVD Coatings are susepible to:

• - Showing wear faster than stainless steel,

• - scratching,

• - scuffing,

• - Changes in colour due to oxidation,

• - Wear due to repeat friction over time.

• To avoid these issues:

• - Store properly - always store the watch in it's box or in a soft protected place.

• - Be mindful of jewelry - avoid wearing a PVD watch with bracelets and jewelry that may rub against the watch's finish.

• - Avoid friction - be mindful when wearing your watch during activities that may cause repetitive friction.

• - Avoid damaging activities like sports or physical labour.

Sapphire Crystal:

• Sapphire crystal is not expected to show wear and tear unless involved in an accident, which may result in:

• - Cracking,

• - Shattering,

• - Chipping.

• To avoid these issues:

• - Avoid high contact activities that could be likely to cause an accident resulting in the Sapphire cracking or shattering.

• - Make sure the watch strap or bracelet is secure to avoid your watch falling off your wrist.

• - Replace your watch strap when signs of wear present near the lugs.

• - Always make sure the spring bars are completely secure after changing a watch strap.
