timeless elegance.

red by a 24-month international warranty for any

international warranty covers defects in materials
and manufacturing that exist at the time of delivery
of the LONGINES watch purchased (“defects”). The
warranty takes effect only if the warranty certificate
has been dated and fully completed by an official

any defect repaired free of charge. In the event that
repairs cannot restore your LONGINES watch to full

or material of cases, straps, bracelets and chains
made of leather, textile, rubber or any other

indirectly from using the LONGINES watch or from

We are delighted you have become the owner of

this instruction manual carefully before using your
LONGINES watch for the first time in order to en-
sure its correct operation and long life. If you would

fitted with a complication, you can find detailed in-

Precautions concerning water-
resistance
A watch’s water-resistance can be affected by
changes caused by the gaskets drying out, or an ac-
cidental shock to the crown. To help maintain your
watch’s water-resistance, we recommend rinsing it
in soft water after any contact with sea water and
having its water-resistance checked once a year by
an approved LONGINES Service Centre. In no cir-
cumstances should you open your watch yourself.
IMPORTANT! Never activate the time-setting crown
and/or push-pieces when the watch is underwater,
and ensure that the crown and push-pieces are
pushed in or screwed down before any immersion
in water.
*The water-resistance values given in metres are
equivalent to pressure applied in accordance with
standard ISO 22810.
