Can I wear the watch while swimming?

Yes, the watch has a water resistance of 10 bar (100 meters), making it suitable for swimming and water activities. Ensure the crown is properly closed.

What kind of crystal does the watch have?

The watch features a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, which is highly scratch-resistant.

Where can I get the watch serviced?

You can have the watch serviced at any authorized Longines service center or by a qualified watchmaker.

Troubleshooting

Fogging inside the crystal.
