Important Notes
Mother-of-pearl dials may exhibit slight color variations due to the natural characteristics of the material. Light reflection can cause shifting hues and iridescent effects, meaning no two dials are exactly alike. This variation is a hallmark of authenticity and adds to the uniqueness of each watch. For warranty details, customers should refer to the manufacturer’s official policy. Care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or chemicals to preserve the finish and movement. The watch comes packaged securely, ready for gifting or personal use.
