WATCH AFTER SALES CARE INFORMATION

Your watch is a fine instrument. Please treat it with care by avoiding shocks and knocks, as they can harm the inner mechanism of your watch.

Leather straps

Please note that leather is a natural permeable material. To keep your leather strap in good condition for as long as possible, Temelli Jewellery recommends the following: Exposing a leather strap to daily showers or swims is not recommended. If you live a very active lifestyle, especially one involving frequent exposure to salt water and/or heavy perspiration, you should opt for a steel bracelet or rubber strap. Don’t expose your leather strap to sunlight for long periods of time, as this can fade and discolour it. Protect your leather strap, by avoiding contact with perfume and cosmetics, chemicals, grease, or oily substances. (i.e. Sunscreen). Colours and suppleness of leather are subject to change with time and exposure to external factors. For hygiene reasons, and to extend the lifespan of your strap, it is highly recommended to take off your watch at bedtime due to perspiration.

Water resistance

Each watch will state the measure of water resistance suited to the brand and specific style. ATM stands for Atmospheres- the amount of pressure the watch can take in atmospheres before failure is assumed. Water pressure relates to the capability of resisting water, not only the distance of depth underwater. Different pressure conditions, such as sudden shock or impact of pressure, may affect water resistance.

Waterproof VS Water-Resistant

The term “waterproof” is not appropriate for watches, as it implies a measure of absolute protection. A watch can never be 100% impenetrable to water. A watch’s water resistance cannot be guaranteed in all situations. The water-resistance can be affected by shock to the crown, the ageing of gaskets, service history, etc. As a result, the term water-resistant is more appropriate.

Screw Down Crown for Diving & Surfing

A screw-down crown aids water-resistant by sealing the crown to the case of the watch. A seal is achieved when the case locks with the crown’s internal threads and gaskets fastening the crown into its place. Not doing so will cancel the water-resistance of the watch. The crown needs to be pushed in completely, or screwed in if your watch has a screw-down crown, to stop water entering the watch and damaging the movement. Never open, wind, or operate the crown while in water, and ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before immersion in water. Have your watch water-resistant and pressure tested once a year by the authorised service center, to preserve and prolong the performance of your watch.
