Overall Care
Like any finely crafted mechanism, your Movado
watch requires periodic maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Maintenance
includes complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of parts as needed,
reassembly, and lubrication of the movement. A maintenance interval of 3 to 5
years is recommended, in addition to any required battery replacement.
Never
open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail
it directly to a Movado Authorized Service Center.
Shock
All
Movado watches have shock-resistant movements, individually tested to meet
international standards.
Dust
Dust can enter a watch if the case, crystal, or crown is
not intact. A small particle is enough to stop the movement. Have your watch
repaired promptly if the crystal becomes loose, chipped, or cracked, or if
there is damage to the case or crown.
Magnetism
The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic
fields will affect its time-keeping and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch
should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the
magnetic field; a mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it
will operate again.
Water Resistance
All Movado watches are
tested to meet international standards for water resistance. Most styles are
resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM/3 bar/99 feet); certain models are
water-resistant to even greater pressures/depths, as marked on the dial or
case back.
Caution: If the water resistance limit is not marked on
your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater than 30 meters (3
ATM/3 bar/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be
voided.
Important: Do not operate the watch crown, push buttons on
a chronograph model, or any other pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet or
underwater.
Note: The Movado Watch Company will not be responsible
for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from improper
handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets, or crystal.
To
maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is required. The gaskets and
crown which seal the case are subject to wear and deterioration under normal
use. These parts should be inspected and replaced as needed each time the
watch is opened for service, including battery changes. Your Authorized Movado
Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a
routine step in all service orders.
Other Precautions: If your
watch is equipped with a screw-down crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them
back down in the case after every operation.
Water resistance
applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn
underwater or subjected to wet conditions. Please see Strap Care.
Avoid
exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.
Do
not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface.
Water
resistance must be rechecked after every violent shock. Clean your watch
regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially
after exposure to seawater.
Strap Care
While the life span of a watch strap depends on
your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which you live, proper
care will extend its life.
Leather straps should be kept dry.
Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and
eventually break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes
should be avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or saltwater, gently damp
wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.
To help
preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin or
XTremeResin strap, rinse using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following
exposure to saltwater, chemicals, or abrasive substances.
Use warm
water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white
Series 800 ThermoResin strap; then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped in
warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone
and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.
Note: Movado watch straps are
not covered by the Movado watch warranty.
Battery Information
A Movado quartz timepiece has a 1.55 Volt
silver-oxide battery that is specifically designed for watches. It will last
approximately 18-36 months under normal use.
Note: Frequent use of
special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten
battery life.
End-of-life feature: The second's hand on many models
will start to move haltingly in 4-second increments when the battery is almost
exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.
Battery
Replacement: It is important to use only the replacement battery recommended
by Movado.
Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center
to have the battery changed—your old battery will be disposed of/recycled
properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.
Sterling Silver
Pure silver, also called fine silver, is
relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged so it is commonly combined
with other metals to produce a more durable product. Sterling silver consists
of 92.5% silver with copper, which has been found to be its best companion.
Copper improves the metal's hardness and durability without affecting its
beautiful color.
Caring For Your Sterling Silver
Wearing
your silver jewelry often is the best way to prevent tarnish from building up
because the oils in your skin help to keep it from oxidizing faster. However
even if not worn on daily basis, proper care will allow your fine quality
silver piece to last a lifetime.
Tarnishing is a natural reaction
when sterling silver is in the presence of saltwater, air pollutants, or
everyday items that contain sulfur, such as leather, rubber, and chlorine.
Apply
perfume, hairspray, or deodorant before wearing your jewelry as certain
chemicals in these products may damage the finish.
Avoid exposing
your silver to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia, or
when swimming in chlorinated water.
To minimize scratches and other
damage, store your silver jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate
compartment in your jewelry box.
Remove heavy tarnish with warm
water, mild soap, and a clean, soft cotton or flannel cloth, a special
sterling silver cleaning cloth, or a very soft-bristle brush like a baby
toothbrush.
**Silver polish or dip-style cleaning solutions are not
recommended.
Vermeil
Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) combines the
best properties of two precious metals. It has the luxurious appearance of
solid gold at the affordable cost of a solid silver piece. Vermeil, the French
word for silver, is comprised of a layer of gold 2.5 microns (0.0025
millimeters) thick over a base metal of Sterling Silver (92.5%). This
combination of thick gold plating over sterling silver is also known as silver
gilt.
Caring For Your Gold Vermeil
Although gold
vermeil will not tarnish like silver, it may become dirty and fade slightly
with wear. As with most fine jewelry pieces, it requires a little care and
attention to keep it sparkling through the years.
Remove your
vermeil jewelry when bathing and swimming. Chlorine, especially at high
temperatures, can permanently damage or discolor the gold layer. It should
also be removed when doing physical work & playing sports.
Apply
perfume, hairspray, or deodorant before wearing your jewelry as certain
chemicals in these products may damage the finish.
Avoid exposing
your vermeil jewelry to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or
ammonia, or when swimming in chlorinated water.
To minimize
scratches and other damage, store your vermeil jewelry either in a cloth pouch
or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box.
To clean your
gold vermeil jewelry wash it with a small amount of gentle dish soap or
non-chemical soap and warm water. Rinse it well and allow it to dry on a cloth
or paper towel. Then buff VERY gently with a soft and dry 100% cotton cloth or
a microfiber cloth. NEVER use chemical cleaners on 24k gold vermeil jewelry –
it can strip the gold finish.
**NEVER use chemical cleaners on 18k gold
vermeil jewelry – it can strip the gold finish.
Black PVD Finish over
Sterling (925)
Care of PVD coating, we suggest washing using gentle
dish soap or non-chemical soap and warm water. Rinse it well and pat dry with
a soft cloth.
Below are additional benefits the manufacturer lists
for PVD coated items:
1. Provides a chemical barrier
2. High
hardness
3. Improved wear resistance
