FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

This Serpenti Tubogas watch features a reliable quartz movement, known for its accuracy and low maintenance.

How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?

Gently wipe the bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.

Is this watch waterproof?

The water resistance level varies by model. Please refer to the specific documentation for your watch or consult the official Bvlgari website for its exact water resistance rating and guidelines. Avoid exposing it to water unless its rating permits.

What does 'Tubogas' refer to?

Tubogas is a distinctive jewelry technique used by Bulgari that creates a flexible, gas-pipe-like bracelet, inspired by the aesthetic of the early 20th-century art movement.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

The battery typically lasts between 2-3 years, depending on usage. It should be replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the integrity of the watch.

Can the bracelet size be adjusted?

The Tubogas bracelet is designed to be flexible. While it conforms to the wrist, significant sizing adjustments are best handled by an authorized Bvlgari service center or a professional watchmaker.

What is the significance of the pink rubellite?

The pink rubellite is a gemstone chosen by Bulgari for its unique color and elegance, often used as a distinctive accent, as seen on the crown of this timepiece.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted. Visit an authorized Bvlgari service center or a qualified watchmaker for a battery replacement. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.

Difficulty setting the time or date.

Gently pull the crown out to the correct position for setting. If the crown is stiff, do not force it. Seek assistance from a watch professional.

Scratches on the stainless steel case or bracelet.

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watch polisher. For significant damage, consult an authorized service center for repair or replacement options.

Strap feels too tight or too loose.

The Tubogas bracelet is designed for flexibility. If the fit is uncomfortable, ensure the crown is fully depressed. For significant fit issues, consult with a retailer or service center for potential adjustments or advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This watch features a quartz movement and is designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure the crown is pushed fully in to start the timekeeping mechanism. To set the time, gently pull the crown out to the appropriate position and turn it to select the correct hour and minute. Push the crown back in securely when finished.

Compatibility:

As a standalone timepiece, compatibility is not a primary concern. The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist. Ensure a comfortable fit; the Tubogas bracelet is flexible but should not be excessively tight or loose.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: Consult the specific water resistance rating for this model. Avoid prolonged immersion or exposure to high-pressure water, such as during swimming or showering, unless explicitly stated as suitable.
  • Avoidance: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct, prolonged sunlight, which can affect the movement and materials.
  • Servicing: Although quartz movements are low-maintenance, it is advisable to have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every few years to prevent leakage. Periodic servicing by an authorized center is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
