Unless your watch is equipped with a movement resistant to strong magnetic fields (up to 1.5 tesla or 15,000 gauss), such as the Master Chronometer movement, avoid placing your watch in environments with strong magnetic fields, such as speakers, refrigerators, certain handbag clasps, and iPad cases.
The operation of your automatic watch depends on the movement of the wearer's wrist. After fully winding, the watch will reach the specified power reserve. If the watch has not been worn for several days or wrist movements are insufficient for automatic winding, we recommend manually winding the crown 15 to 20 times in a clockwise direction.

If the watch has not been worn for several days or wrist movements are insufficient for automatic winding, the power reserve will be depleted. We recommend winding the crown 15 to 20 times in a clockwise direction to manually wind the watch.

All watches are tested according to NIHS (Swiss watch industry standards). While most watches can withstand impacts of up to 5000g, avoid sudden shocks and impacts.
After swimming, make sure to rinse your watch with warm water. Note: We recommend having your watch's waterproof performance checked by an authorized service center annually.

However, we cannot specify an exact maintenance interval, as it may vary depending on the model, climate, and how well the watch is cared for. Generally, the recommended interval for regular maintenance is every 3 to 5 years.
The water resistance of your watch cannot be guaranteed to last forever, especially due to aging seals or accidental impacts. We recommend having your watch's water resistance checked by an authorized service center annually.
