Important Notes

All measurements are approximate and may vary slightly from the listed dimensions. Men’s watch bands are designed to fit wrists between 7.5 and 8.5 inches in circumference. Additional links can be ordered through Franck Muller; this service is not provided by the retailer. The automatic movement winds through arm motion but should be manually wound every two weeks if not worn regularly to maintain optimal function. The screw-down crown must be turned counter-clockwise to unlock, then pulled to adjust time or date settings. To secure, press the crown against the case and turn clockwise until tight.
