HANDLING OF WATER RESISTANT WATCHES
Water resistancy of your watch is greatly aected by
the way the watch is treated – misuse will diminish water
resistancy by aecting the case and lens seals
- Although the watch is warranted to the specications
marked, all care should be taken to avoid damage that
results from mishandling
- Should your watch have a screw down crown, you must
ensure that the screw lock crown is completely tightened
at all times
- If the watch comes into contact with salt or chlorinated
water, be sure to rinse it thoroughly in fresh water
- If a watch is wet, do not store it in a closed container.
It should be dried out immediately to avoid damage to
internal components
- Should water or condensation appear in the watch,
immediately have it serviced by those listed on your
warranty as water can corrode components

MAXUM WATCH CARE AND PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid leaving your watch in any extremes for long
periods of time: direct sunlight, extremely warm or cold
conditions
• Only use your watch for approved sports as detailed in
the ‘WATER RESISTANCY USAGE GUIDE’ on pages180-181
(Avoid wet conditions unless your watch is suited for
them)
• Never operate the buttons or crown when the watch is
wet or submerged in water
• Light activities will not aect your watch, but drops or
hits against a hard surface will cause damage, not only to
the lens, case and band but to the internal components
• Do not expose the watch to solvents, mercury,
cosmetic spray (eg. Hairspray and perfume), detergents,
adhesives, paints, gases or other chemicals. They may
cause discolouration and deterioration to the nish of
the watch
• Do not under any circumstances wear your watch in
a hot tub, sauna, shower or bath. The combination of
- Pressure in bar (ATM) is a test pressure. This
measurement should not be considered as actual
immersion depth. As various conditions in beach surf
may cause false pressure conditions
- The dial marking indicated (ATM, M or BAR) represents
the tested pressure
Note: Designa Accessories assumes no responsibility
for any loss or claims by third parties that may arise
through the use of this watch.

extreme heat and water may cause your watch to lose its
water resistancy
• Ensure that watches marked as water resistant are
thoroughly rinsed in fresh water after use in salt and/or
chlorinated water and dried with a soft cloth
• The watch and bracelet/band may collect dust and
perspiration and will become soiled if not cleaned
regularly. This is particularly the case with the inner parts
of the links or mesh of the bracelet. Wipe periodically
with a soft dry cloth
• No backward hand or date adjustments should be made
with analogue hands between 8pm and 3am. At these
times, the gears are too close together and such a change
could cause damage. Eg. Daylight savings time
• Avoid fastening the bracelet too tightly. You should be
able to insert a nger between the band and the wrist
(make sure the wrist is at normal temperature and not
overheated)
• Do not clean watch with spray cleaners, thinners or
other such volatile agents
• Never try to open the watch. Only have batteries
changed by Designa Accessories technicians
• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures
• Should moisture appear inside the watch, have it
checked by Designa Accessories technicians
• Avoid magnetic elds as they may eect the time
keeping of your watch.

Due to the fact that Surng and Fishing are in no way
static sports there are inuences that can aect a watch’s
ability to keep water out. For example, frequent tempera-
ture changes, salt water and big wipe-outs can diminish
the longevity of the watch’s rubber seals.
To keep your watch in peak condition for surng/shing,
we recommend that you have your watch seals replaced
and fully tested at the Designa Accessories Service Centre
every 24 months (see Warranty Book for contact details).
* Water resistant casing does not permit pusher or button
operation while in water.
MAXUM WATER - WATER RESISTANCE
Maxum watches are tested to the highest industry
standards for water resistance.
Note: All industry standard watch testing is done in a
static laboratory environment and relates to pressure.
It does not signify a specic diving depth (see ‘WATER
RESISTANCY USAGE GUIDE’ for more information).
