INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
2-year limited warranty:
Your Bomberg watch is guaranteed for a period of 2 years under the terms
and conditions of this warranty.
The international Bomberg warranty covers material and manufacturing
defects existing at the time the purchased Bomberg Watch was delivered.
The warranty only comes into force if the warranty certicate is dated, fully
and correctly completed and stamped by an ofcial Bomberg retailer.
During the warranty period, upon presentation of the valid warranty
certicate, you will have the right to have any defect repaired free of charge.
This manufacturer’s warranty does not cover:
- The life of the battery;
- Normal wear and tear and ageing (scratched crystal, alteration of the
colour and/or material of nonmetallic straps and chains, such as leather,
textile, rubber; peeling of the plating);

4
- Any damage to any part of the watch resulting from abnormal use/
misuse, lack of care, negligence, accidents (knocks, dents, crushing,
broken crystal, etc.), incorrect use of the watch and failure to observe
the instructions for use provided by Bomberg;
- The Bomberg watch handled by non-authorized persons (for battery
replacement, servicing or repairs) or which has undergone altera-
tions beyond the control of Bomberg.

SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
How often should my watch be checked?
We recommend a yearly water resistance check (partial service with
movement check).
How often should my watch be serviced?
Like any other precision instrument, a watch should be serviced regularly
to ensure it remains in perfect working order. We do not issue strict
instructions on how often you should have your watch serviced as this
depends on the model, the climate where you live and how you look after
the watch yourself. As a rule, a watch should be serviced every 4 or 5 years,
depending on the conditions in which it is worn.
Where should I go to get my watch serviced or for a new battery?
We recommend that you go to an ofcial Bomberg agent or retailer. They are
the only people who have the necessary tools and devices to work on your
watch and to carry out the necessary checks at the required specialist level.
Furthermore, only specialists can guarantee that their work meets the
stringent quality standards set by Bomberg.

What can I do to ensure that my watch functions perfectly for many years?
Magnetic elds: avoid putting your watch on a loud-speaker or a refrige-
rator because these machines create magnetic elds that may damage it.
Salt-Water: always rinse your watch in fresh water after swimming in the sea.
Shocks: avoid subjecting your watch to shocks, including sudden changes
in temperature.
Screwed crown: always make sure you have screwed the crown properly to
avoid any moisture getting into the mechanism.
Cleaning: use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean the bracelet and
water-resistant cases, then dry with a soft cloth. Special cleaning products
must be used on the leather strap.
Chemical products: avoid all direct contact with solvents, detergents,
perfume, cosmetics, etc., which may damage the bracelet or strap, the
case, or the gaskets.

7
Temperatures: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (over
60°C or 140°F and under 0°C or 32°F) and to sudden uctuations in
temperature.
Water-resistance: All Bomberg watches are water-resistant. They can
withstand a water pressure of at least 3 bar (depth of 30 metres). Water
resistance is not a permanent condition. To ensure continuous water
resistance, the watch should be checked once a year. To ensure conformance
with the warranty regulations, these operations must be performed by an
authorised Bomberg dealer or authorised Bomberg Service Centre.
Chronograph pushers: do not adjust the pushers under water as this
could allow moisture into the mechanism.
