Important Notes
This watch comes backed by a lifetime factory warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer’s confidence in its construction and long-term durability. Because it uses a mechanical movement, regular winding is required approximately every 48 hours to keep accurate time—simply rotate the crown fully clockwise each time. To preserve performance, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden shocks. While it is not waterproof, it offers basic resistance to splashes and moisture; do not submerge in water. The curb chain is made of plated metal and should be handled gently to maintain its finish over time. The model remains active and has not been discontinued by the manufacturer, ensuring continued support and availability. Customer feedback averages 4.3 out of 5 stars based on 64 reviews, with buyers frequently praising its design authenticity, reliable mechanics, and overall value for the price.
