Esq 0605621, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 5 / 24

Your Authorized Movado Service Center will
automatically retest your watch for water
resistance as a routine step in all service orders.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down
crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back
down into the case after every operation.
Water resistance applies only to the watch case;
some watch straps should not be worn under
water or subjected to wet conditions. Please see
Strap Care.
Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and
excessive temperature variations.
Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard
surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after
every violent shock.
Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft
cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after
exposure to seawater.
Strap Care
While the life span of a watch strap depends on
your care and wearing habits, as well as the
climate in which you live, proper care will extend
its life.
Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to
water may cause a leather watch strap to become
brittle and eventually break. To preserve the finish
of the leather, contact with perfumes should be
avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or salt
water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with
fresh water, and air dry.

to stop. A quartz watch should resume working
with its original accuracy when removed from the
magnetic field; a mechanical timepiece may require
demagnetization before it will operate again.
Water Resistance
All Movado watches are tested to meet
international standards for water resistance.
Most styles are water resistant to 3 bar
(3 ATM/30 meters/99 feet); certain models are
water resistant to even greater pressures/depths,
as marked on the dial or case back.
CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not
marked on your watch, do not subject it to a
pressure/depth greater than 3 bar (3 ATM/
30 meters/99 feet), or your watch could be
damaged and your warranty will be voided.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the watch crown,
push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any
other pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet
or under water.
NOTE: The Movado Watch Company will not be
responsible for any damage caused by or related
to leakage originating from improper handling or
damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.
To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is
required. The gaskets and crown which seal the
case are subject to wear and deterioration under
normal use. These parts should be inspected and
replaced as needed each time the watch is opened
for service, including battery changes.
