Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Setting the Time: To set the time, gently pull out the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands indicate the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
- Initial Winding (if applicable): This watch features a `Swiss Made` movement. While specific details on winding are not provided, most modern quartz Swiss Made watches do not require manual winding. For automatic movements, a few gentle shakes or manual turns of the crown (if it has a winding function) might be needed if it hasn't been worn in a while. > Info needed: specific movement type (quartz/automatic) for winding instructions.
- Bracelet Sizing: The five-link stainless steel bracelet is designed for a precise fit. If the bracelet is too loose or too tight, it will need adjustment. We recommend taking your watch to a professional jeweler or watchmaker for accurate and safe link removal or addition to avoid damaging the crystals or material.
Compatibility
This watch is universally compatible with any wrist size, provided the bracelet is properly adjusted. Its elegant silver-tone finish complements a wide range of jewelry and attire.
Care
- Water Resistance: Your watch is water resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and incidental contact with water. Do NOT wear it while swimming, showering, bathing, diving, or engaging in water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
- Cleaning: To maintain its sparkle, clean the watch regularly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with plain water. Gently wipe the case, glass, and bracelet. For stubborn dirt around the crystals, a soft brush (like a very soft toothbrush) can be used carefully, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the finish or crystals. Always dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original Swarovski branded packaging or a soft pouch to protect it from dust, moisture, and scratches. Keep it away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and strong magnetic fields.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and other chemical agents, as these can dull the crystals and potentially damage the watch's finish.
- Professional Servicing: For battery replacement (if quartz) or any internal repairs, always seek a certified watch repair specialist.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure your Swarovski Dextera Octagon Watch retains its beauty and functionality for years to come.
