How often should I service the watch?

It is recommended to have the watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain its accuracy and performance.

Is the watch waterproof?

Can I replace the bracelet?

Yes, the bracelet can be replaced with any compatible strap designed for the J12 series. Consider the original CHANEL ceramic bracelet for best results.

How do I clean the diamonds?
