shock
All our watches have shock-resistant movements and are tested to
meet international standards for shock resistance
Magnetism
The exposure of a timepiece to a strong magnetic field will affect
its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop A quartz watch should
resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the
magnetic field; an automatic or hand-wound mechanical timepiece,
however, may require demagnetization before it will operate again
Water Resistance
All our watches meet international standards for water resistance
to at least 3ATM / 30M / 99 feet, so faucet spray or rain won’t hurt
them as long as the case, crown and crystal remain intact
Timepieces marked water resistant to 50M / 5 ATM / 165 feet may
be worn while showering or swimming, but not scuba diving
CAUTION: Do not press the push-buttons on a chronograph model
when the watch is under water, or it will not remain water resistant
NOTES: We recommend that you do not get your leather strap
wet Exposing leather to water can cause premature wear and
deterioration
Carefully wipe your watch using a soft cloth dampened with fresh
water after exposure to chlorine or sea water

designed for watches It will last approximately 18-36 months
