Product Information

Full details

The Lacoste Boston Watch (Brown, 39mm) is designed for individuals seeking a blend of sporty sophistication and timeless elegance. Its key benefit is the versatile design, inspired by Lacoste's heritage, suitable for both casual and formal occasions. A potential caveat is the 39mm case size, which may be smaller than preferred by those who favor larger watch faces. This emblematic timepiece features a signature aluminum bezel, a refined sunray dial, and a distinctive punched leather strap reminiscent of classic tennis racket handles. It offers reliable timekeeping with a three-hand movement and a water resistance of 5 ATM.

FAQs

What does 5 ATM water resistance mean?

5 ATM (Atmospheres) means the watch is resistant to pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. It is suitable for everyday wear, splashes, and brief immersion in water, but not for swimming, diving, or high-velocity water-related activities.

How do I wind the watch if it has stopped?

If your watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by gently turning the crown clockwise (when in the closed position) about 30-40 times. Alternatively, gently shake the watch side-to-side for a minute or two to start the automatic movement.

Is the leather strap interchangeable?

The Boston collection often features a specially designed leather strap. While standard watch straps might fit, the unique design of the original strap may make direct replacement with generic straps challenging without a watchmaker's assistance. Consult the product manual or a specialist for options.

How should I care for the aluminum bezel?

The aluminum bezel should be cleaned with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds, as aluminum can be softer than stainless steel and more prone to scratching or discoloration if treated aggressively.

What is the inspiration behind the Boston collection?

The Boston collection is inspired by the moment René Lacoste was nicknamed 'the Crocodile' in Boston, Massachusetts. This origin story influences the sporty yet sophisticated design of the watches, including the use of specific materials and design cues like the punched leather strap referencing tennis rackets.

What are the dimensions of the watch case?

The case diameter for this specific model is 39mm.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working.

Ensure the crown is pushed in fully. If the watch is automatic, it may need to be wound by gently shaking it for a minute or two, or by manually winding it using the crown (refer to setup instructions). Check if the battery needs replacement (if applicable to the specific movement, though this model typically uses mechanical movements).

Time is inaccurate.

Ensure the time was set correctly and the crown is fully pushed in. Mechanical watches can have natural variations in accuracy; consult the product manual for expected daily variance. If the inaccuracy is significant, it may require servicing by a professional watchmaker.

Leather strap shows signs of wear or stiffness.

Condition the leather with a dedicated leather care product. Avoid exposing the strap to excessive moisture or heat. If the strap is significantly damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Condensation under the crystal.

This can indicate a compromised water seal. Immediately avoid exposing the watch to further moisture and take it to a qualified watch repair service for inspection and resealing.

  • Distinctive design elements connect to Lacoste's heritage.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Lacoste Boston Watch is a mechanical timepiece that requires initial winding if the crown has been pulled out or the watch has stopped. To set the time, gently pull the crown outwards to the appropriate position and turn it to adjust the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in to resume normal operation.

Compatibility:

This watch is designed as a standalone accessory. Compatibility refers to its ability to be worn with various outfits and its strap interchangeability (if applicable by standard watch strap sizes, though the custom design may limit this).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Strap Care: For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and heat, which can cause drying, cracking, or discoloration. Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 5 ATM, it's advisable to avoid submerging the watch for extended periods, swimming, or showering to preserve the water seals and leather strap.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust.
