Water-resistance
Your TISSOT
®
watch is designed to withstand a certain water pressure, see the inscription on the case-back.
A watch cannot be permanently guaranteed absolutely water-resistant. It may be affected by ageing of the gaskets or by an accidental impact on the watch.
We recommend that you have your watch's water-resistance checked once a year by a TISSOT
®
approved service centre.
Care and maintenance
Temperature
Do not expose your watch to sudden temperature changes (exposure to sunlight followed by immersion in cold water) or extreme temperatures (over 60°C
(140°F) or below 0°C (32°F)).
Magnetic fields
Do not expose your watch to intense magnetic fields such as those generated by speakers, mobile phones, computers, refrigerators or other electromagnetic
appliances.
Shocks and impacts
Avoid thermal shocks or impacts, since they may harm your watch. In the event of a violent impact please have your watch checked by a TISSOT
®
approved
service centre.
Harmful products
Prevent your watch from coming into any direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products etc., since they may damage the bracelet, the
case or the gaskets.
Cleaning
We would advise you to clean your watch regularly (except for the leather strap) using a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. After immersion in salty water,
rinse your watch in fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Services
Like any precision instrument, a watch must be serviced regularly for optimum operation. As a general rule, we recommend that you have your watch checked
every 3 to 4 years by your approved TISSOT
®
retailer or service centre. However, please note that depending on the climate and the conditions of use of the
watch, a shorter interval may be required. To enjoy the highest standards of service and to ensure your guarantee warranty remains valid, please always
contact a TISSOT
®
approved retailer or service centre.
Availability and spare parts
From the production end date of the watch, TISSOT
®
guarantees the availability of its spare parts for a minimum period of 10 years for standard watches, and
for a period of up to 20 years for gold watches. If for any reason production of a particular spare part is stopped or deferred, TISSOT
®
reserves the right, at its
sole discretion, to offer the customer an alternative solution.
