Important Notes
While the watch is water resistant up to 30 meters, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. Prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to maintain the integrity of the movement and seals. The automatic movement may require manual winding if left unworn for several days, as it relies on motion to stay powered. Regular maintenance every few years is recommended to ensure long-term accuracy and performance. The watch comes in its original packaging, and warranty information can be accessed through the manufacturer’s support page. As a discontinued model, availability may vary, and it is advisable to verify authenticity when purchasing from third-party sellers.
