Natural Leather and Imitation Leather Bands
• Allowing the watch to remain in contact with other items or storing it together with
other items while it is wet for long periods can cause the color of the other items to
transfer to the natural leather or imitation leather band of the watch. Be sure to dry
off the watch thoroughly before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other
items.
• Leaving a leather band where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for
long periods or failure to clean dirt from a leather band for long periods can cause it
to become discolored.
Important!
• Subjecting a natural leather or imitation leather band to rubbing or dirt can cause
color transfer and discoloration.
Metal Components
• Failure to clean dirt from a metal band can lead to formation of rust, even if the band
is stainless steel or plated. If the watch is exposed to sweat or water, wipe it
thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth and then store it in a well-ventilated location
to dry.
