pREcAUTIoNS foR USE AND cARE
Your watch has been manufactured with the greatest care, and will provide years of service if you
take the following precautions:
1. Tips for use and care
-
Never activate the crown or push-buttons of your watch in water. If your watch has a
screw-down crown, make sure that it never comes into contact with water when its crown is
unscrewed;
-
Avoid thermal shocks and exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, below 0 ° or above
60 ° (sauna, baths, etc.);
-
Never use corrosive/chemical products to clean your watch;
-
Avoid contact with certain chemical substances (petrol, thinners, perfumes, cleaning products,
glues, paints, etc.), to prevent any damage to your watch and its leather strap;
-
Avoid exposing your watch to a powerful magnetic field (magnets, loudspeaker, etc.);
-
Avoid violent impacts;
-
Avoid leaving your watch immobile for long periods of time. Only regular wear prevents the
oils contained in the movement from congealing;
-
Never attempt to open the case of your watch yourself;
-
Rinse your watch with fresh water after bathing in the sea; avoid bathing with a leather strap
to prevent accelerated wear.
2. Maintenance service
Therefore, to ensure that your watch continues, after years of use, to provide the accuracy you
can rightly expect, Girard-Perregaux recommends entrusting your watch to one of its authorized
Repair Centers every 2 to 3 years for the necessary inspections.
