PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND CARE
Your watch has been manufactured with the greatest care, and will provide years of service if
you take the following precautions:
1. Precautions for use and care
- Never activate the crown or push-buttons of your watch in water. If your watch has a screw-
down crown, make sure that it never comes into contact with water when its crown is
unscrewed;
- Avoid thermal shocks and exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, below 0 ° or
above 60 ° (sauna, baths, etc.);
- Never use corrosive or chemical products to clean your watch;
- Avoid contact with certain chemical substances (petrol, thinners, perfumes, cleaning
products, glues, paints, etc.), to prevent any damage to your watch and its leather strap;
- Avoid exposing your watch to a powerful magnetic field (magnets, loudspeaker, etc.);
- Avoid violent impacts;
- Avoid leaving your watch immobile for long periods of time. Only regular wear prevents the
oils contained in the movement from congealing;
- Never attempt to open the case of your watch yourself;
- Rinse your watch with fresh water after bathing in the sea; avoid bathing with a leather
strap to prevent accelerated wear.
2. Maintenance service
Therefore, to ensure that your watch continues, after years of use, to provide the accuracy
you can rightly expect, Girard-Perregaux recommends entrusting your watch to one of its
authorized Repair Centers every 2 to 3 years for the necessary inspections.
