SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
How often should my watch be checked?
We recommend a yearly water resistancy 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 perfect runwaring. We cannot say 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 specialized 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 temperatures.
Screwed crown: always make sure you have screwed the crown properly to
avoid any humidity getting into the mechanism.
Cleaning: use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean bracelet and water
resistancy cases and a soft cloth to dry off afterwards.
Chemical products: avoid all direct contact with solvents detergents,
perfume, cosmetics, etc. which may damage the bracelet or strap, the
case or the gaskets .
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 tem-
perature.
Water-resistance: we cannot guarantee that your watch will be permanently
water-resistant. The gaskets may be affected by wear or by an accidental
shock to the crown. As recommended in our service instructions, you
should have the water resitancy gaskets of your watch tested once a year
by an approved Bomberg agent.
Chronograph pushers: do not adjust the pushers under water as this
could cause wetness in the mechanism.

Bayonet system
A watch? NO! Two watches, two ways of being? An object of desire? YES!
Certainly for men whose masculinity is not open to question.
Using an ingenious bayonet system with a trigger guard – an exclusive system
patented by BOMBERG – the time-keeping module can be detached from its
base and attached to a metal chain.
The new conguration is now a pocket watch. But be warned, the chain
differs quite a bit from the ne chains on the pocket watches of yesteryear.
As you will no doubt have realized, this tool is more for a pocket on a pair of
jeans than that of a gentleman’s waistcoat.
From a technical point of view, this dual usage – pocket and wrist – has meant
new developments in three areas: size, engineering and security.
