STRAP AND BRACELET CLEANING
All MICHELE straps and bracelets should be wiped with a soft cloth. No chemicals or
cleaners should be applied to straps.
To maintain the “new look” of metal bracelets, we recommend periodic cleanings with
a soft brush and warm soapy water. Remove the bracelet from the case and gently
rub the bracelet clean.
Your timepiece should not be affected by magnetic fields generated by household
items such as televisions or stereos, but avoidance of other strong electric fields or
static electricity, which may interrupt mechanism, is suggested. It is also important to
avoid extreme shock or impact.
STRAP AND BRACELET CARE
At MICHELE we only use first quality materials in making our straps and bracelets. All
straps are specifically designed for the watches they fit.
EXOTIC SKINS AND TEXTILES
The natural material used to manufacture your strap is unique and will vary in texture,
pattern, and markings from other straps within the same collection. No two straps are
alike. Exotic skins & textiles are delicate materials and are sensitive to the elements.
They are not waterproof, and should not be wet for any reason. Water, sunlight,
exposure to chemicals or perspiration will cause discoloration, shrinkage and damage
to your strap. Your strap should not be worn during exercise or while sunbathing.
PATENT LEATHER
Patent leather straps should be stored separately, as color may transfer from other
straps or dark-colored fabrics onto the glossy lacquered surface. Contact with
make-up and grease should be avoided, as these items may penetrate the surface of
the strap and darken or stain the leather.
SYNTHETIC STRAPS AND METAL BRACELETS
Rubber straps, silicon straps and stainless steel bracelets are water-resistant. They are
recommended for more active lifestyles. However, please note, they may only be worn
for swimming when paired with watch heads which are 10 ATM or greater.
