1.4 SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND
TOLERANCES
What should I do so that my Raidillon watch works perfectly for many years?
Magnetic fields: avoid placing your watch on speakers or a refrigera-
•
tor, as these appliances generate strong magnetic fields which could
damage your watch mechanism.
Sea swimming: always rinse your watch with fresh water after swimming.
•
Leather, buffalo and alligator straps aren't designed to resist to water.
Impacts: thermal and mechanical shocks should be avoided!
•
Crown screwing: If need be, always carefully screw the crown in order to
•
prevent the mechanism to be exposed to water and dust.
Cleaning: metallic bracelets and cases should be cleaned using a tooth-
•
brush and soapy water, and dried with a soft cloth.
Chemical products: avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, per-
•
fumes, cosmetic products etc. as they could damage the strap, the case
and the gaskets.
Temperatures: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures
•
(above 60°C or 140° F and below 0° C or 32° F) or to extreme variations.
Chronograph pushbuttons: in order to prevent water from penetrating
•
the mechanism, don't manipulate chronograph pushbuttons underwater.
