RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a vintage electronic digital timepiece. Please handle this historical artifact with proper care.
- Vintage digital quartz watches should not be beaten or dropped - strong impacts can damage the internal LCD panel or electronic microchips.
- Vintage watches are generally NOT waterproof. Protect your timekeeper from direct contact with water, heavy rain, or high humidity.
- If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open the back cover and dry the interior components.
- Avoid exposing electronic quartz watches to extremely high temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight, which can darken LCD screens or drain the battery prematurely.
- When pressing side pushers for time or date correction, use a non-sharp tool gently to avoid damaging the micro-contacts.
- Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields or static discharge sources since vintage electronics can be sensitive to sharp electromagnetic interference.
- When storing the watch for long periods, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage and corrosion on the electronic board contacts.
- To clean the case, display and crystal you should use a soft lint-free cloth that does NOT leave fibers.
