FAQs
Can I swap the integrated bracelet for a leather strap?
No, the Ultra Thin series uses an integrated lug design, meaning the bracelet is permanently fixed to the case structure.
Is the black finish prone to fading?
The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is highly durable and designed to resist fading and scratching during normal daily wear.
Does the watch require winding?
No, this model uses a quartz movement powered by a battery, so it does not require manual or automatic winding.
How do I adjust the bracelet size?
You will need to have links removed by a professional jeweler to ensure the integrated pins are safely extracted.
What is the warranty coverage?
Each watch comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering the movement.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
It is not recommended. The watch has a 5ATM rating, which is suitable for hand washing and light rain, but not for submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped ticking
The battery in the Miyota 1L22 movement likely needs replacement. Take the watch to a certified watchmaker to maintain the case seal.
Visible smudge or reflection on crystal
The blue anti-reflective coating is on the exterior; use a clean, dry microfiber lens cloth to wipe away fingerprints gently.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely thin and lightweight for all-day comfort
- Sophisticated matte-black aesthetic works well in professional settings
- High-quality scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
- Reliable and accurate Japanese quartz movement
Cons

- The integrated bracelet cannot be easily swapped for aftermarket straps
- Black finish, while durable, may show wear on edges over many years of heavy use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your D1 Milano watch remains in top condition, observe the following:
- Sizing: Because of the integrated bracelet design, bracelet adjustments should be performed by a professional jeweler to ensure the pins are removed without scratching the DLC finish.
- Care: Clean the watch using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte black coating.
- Water Usage: While rated at 5ATM, avoid submerging the watch in pools or hot tubs. The seal is designed to withstand accidental splashes or rain, not prolonged immersion.
- Storage: When not in use, keep the watch in its provided presentation box to prevent the bracelet from scratching against other hard objects.
