Important Care Tips
- Do not operate the crown or push buttons while submerged or when the watch is wet.
- Strictly cold water usage only. Avoid wearing your watch in hot tubs, saunas, or baths, as heat and steam can compromise water resistance.
- Regular maintenance is essential to ensure seals and gaskets remain intact for continued water resistance.
