FAQs

How often should I wind the watch?

If it is a manual watch, wind it daily. Automatic watches gain power from movement and do not need to be wound as frequently.

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.

What is the warranty period?

The Longines Pilot Majetek comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to your warranty card for the specific terms and duration.

How do I clean the bezel?

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running.

Fogging inside the crystal.

This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Seek professional servicing to prevent damage.

The hands are difficult to read.

Ensure the watch is exposed to light to charge the Super-LumiNova® on the hands. Also, wipe the crystal clean of smudges.
