Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from
topquality materials, a number of components are subject to
natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure that
the points at which wear occurs are always well lubricated and
that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly removed. For
this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced
approximately every 5 years. Please contact an authorized IWC
Official Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer
Service Department in Schaffhausen.
