Always follow the included installation instructions precisely to avoid damaging the watch or the insert during fitting. The package contains one black aluminum bezel insert with silver fonts and one installation instruction sheet. For information regarding product warranty, please refer to the manufacturer’s official support page. Given the precision required in watch components, double-checking compatibility with your specific Skipper model is strongly recommended to ensure a proper and secure fit.
