Care And Maintenance - Swiss Movado Operating Instructions Warranty & Service Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Authorized Movado Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a routine step
in all service orders.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back down into the case
after every operation.
Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or subjected
to wet conditions. Please see STRAP CARE.
Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.
Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every
violent shock.
Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after exposure
to seawater.
STRAP CARE
While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which
you live, proper care will extend its life.
Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and
eventually break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Following
exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.
To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin or XTremeResin strap, rinse it
™ ™
using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.
Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800
ThermoResilient strap or a Movado Master white rubber strap; then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped
™
in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be
avoided.
A natural gum rubber or "rubber cement pick-up" (found in art supply stores) may be used to remove most surface
stains from a Movado BOLD coated white leather strap or white TR90/silicone bracelet. Simply rub the natural
gum gently across the soiled area until the strap/bracelet is clean.
For stains that have penetrated the surface of a white Movado BOLD strap or bracelet, organic solvents like Zymol
liquid leather cleaner or Columbus gel super cleaner, a de-inking roller (ethyl alcohol and propylene ink remover)
or an ethyl alcohol-based solution such as Purell hand sanitizer (62% ethyl alcohol) may be used. Wipe soiled
area with a soft wet cloth. Then dampen a cotton ball or soft clean white cloth with the cleansing solution, and rub
soiled area gently. Repeat 2 to 3 times until stain disappears. Please test for color fastness on inside surface before
applying any solution. For best results, treat all stains/soil promptly.
