How often should the watch be serviced?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To start the watch after it has been sitting idle, manually rotate the crown clockwise 20 to 30 times to build up a base power reserve. Adjust the time by pulling the crown to the second position and rotating until the hands reach the correct position. For daily care, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement. Clean the case and crystal periodically using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to remove dust and oils. While the watch is water-resistant, it is recommended to keep it dry and avoid wearing it in extreme conditions like saunas or high-pressure water environments.
