WATER RESISTANCE
All the Shinola timepieces are designed with a minimum water-resistance rating
of 3ATM (100ft / 30m).
The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from dust, moisture, and
risk of damage to the movement should it be immersed in water. Please see chart for
guidelines for recommended exposure of various water ratings.
It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is
in contact with water. Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement. For
timepieces with screw-down crowns, it is important to ensure the crown is in the proper
position and completely locked before contact with water. For timepieces with chronograph
functions, do not engage the chronograph under water, as water may leak into
the case and cause damage to the movement.

CARE AND PRECAUTION
Each Shinola timepiece is designed and manufactured to the highest of standards.
Unlike most other mechanical objects, a watch operates non-stop. In order to ensure
optimal performance and longevity from your Shinola timepiece, please review the
simple guidelines for care and precautions.
CARE
• Clean your watch with a soft cloth and water only. Do not submerge
your watch under water unless it is water rated.
• After saltwater use, rinse watch under tap water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Metal bracelets should be cleaned periodically. Clean with a soft brush dipped
in mild soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• We advise having your timepiece serviced every 2–3 years to maintain water
resistance and ensure long use and trouble free operation.
PRECAUTIONS
Your timepiece is a complex integration of parts and components brought together
by skilled craftsmen. There are certain actions or environmental situations that may
damage or impede your timepiece's ability to perform optimally.
It is important to avoid the following conditions: extreme heat or cold, as well as
prolonged periods of exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to wet conditions that exceed
your timepiece's water rating. (See caseback and chart).
Your timepiece should not be affected by magnetic fields generated by household items
such as televisions and stereos, but avoidance of other strong electric fields or static
electricity, which may interrupt mechanism, is suggested. It is also important to avoid
extreme shock or impact.
