- In order to prevent water coming into contact with the internal mechanism, never
pull the crown out when the watch is wet.
- If any watches designed for sportswear or use in water come into contact with salt
water or heavy sweating, they should be rinsed in fresh water and dried
thoroughly.

- Contact with water may cause a deterioration in the quality of some leather straps.
- As internal parts of the watch can retain moisture, when the outside temperature is
lower than the inside, the watch glass may mist-up.
This phenomenon is purely temporary and should not create any problems.
However, if it persists for any length of time, the watch should be checked by the
shop where it was purchased or by the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

Temperature
Do not leave the watch exposed to direct sunlight or temperature extremes for long
periods of time.
Long exposure, in fact, may adversely affect the operation of the watch and actually
shorten battery life, causing it to gain or lose time and affect its other functions.
Impact
This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally
imparted by non-contact sports. Serious damage, however, may result if the watch is
dropped or subjected to severe shock.
Magnetic fields
This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic
fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields,
its operation may be temporarily affected.
Static electricity
The integrated circuits present inside the watch are sensitive to static electricity. If the
watch is exposed to intense electrical fields, the time display may temporarily lose
some of its accuracy.
Chemicals and gases
Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances. Parts
of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with benzol or
petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergent, adhesives etc.
Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals.
281_chrono_8162_EN 26-09-2003 14:32 Pagina 10

The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from
a broken thermometer or other equipment.
Keeping the watch clean
Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass.
Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin
irritation.
Cleaning the watch strap:
•Metal bands: use a toothbrush and soapy warm to wash the dirt off.
•Plastic or rubber straps: wash with water. Do not use solvents.
•Leather straps: gently rub the face of the strap using a soft dry cloth. Clean the
opposite side with a cloth and alcohol.
Periodic inspection
In order to guarantee long trouble-free operation, it is advisable to have the watch
checked by an Authorised Assistance Centre once every two years.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children
If a battery is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
