If the watch is exposed to water in other circumstances than the ones presented above, it will lose its warranty. Important! Chlorine/salt found in water could damage the watch. The strap may present stains or other signs of deterioration, rust may appear in the mechanism and condensation may appear under the display. It is highly recommended to avoid exposing the watch to such elements, and to remove it before taking a shower/bath.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND STORAGE

The watch has the following important parts:

  • dial and hands – display elements
  • stainless steel case – protection and casing element
  • hardened mineral crystal – protection and casing element
  • crown – adjusting element
  • Miyota quartz movement – internal functioning element
  • Sony Hg 0% battery (mercury-free)
  • silicone/leather/milanese strap – fastening element

 

Functioning

Quartz wristwatches are functional from the moment of their purchase (if the crown is pushed into working position, which means closest to the case) and will work as long as their battery lasts. The accuracy of the watch is ensured by its three main components: the quartz crystal oscillator, the integrated circuit and the stepper motor. When the battery is discharged, it is recommended that it is immediately replaced in order to avoid any possible leakage and, therefore, damage to the mechanism. This operation should be carried out in an authorized service. 

The accepted divergence in the functioning of quartz and auto-quartz watches should be no more than +/- 15 seconds/month.  

 

Adjusting time

This watch has a standard crown with 

two positions (1, 2), as shown here:

1: working position (pushed in close to the case)

2: time adjusting position (pulled out from the case)

To adjust time: Carefully pull the crown to the time adjusting position (2).

Warning! Do not pull the crown too hard. Use the tip of your fingers or your fingernails to control this movement. 

Turn the crown clockwise to set the desired time, and then push the crown back to its working  position (1). 

 

The watch also has a seconds hand which stops when the crown is pulled out to position 2. Thus, it is possible to set the time exactly. This can be done in the following way:

  1. a) pull the crown precisely when the seconds hand passes 12
  2. b) push the crown back in the exact moment when the clock is synchronized with the time taken as reference 

 

Water resistance

One of the most important parameters of a watch is its level of protection against humidity and water in general, and watches are classified accordingly. The level of resistance of this product is inscribed on the back of the watch (3 ATM water resistant), which indicates that the watch is resistant to sweat, light rain, hand washing, but not for swimming, dishwashing, diving, showering, car washing, snorkeling. 

Warning! The level of water resistance and the watch’s tightness may change in time, depending on certain factors like: wear and tear, the general level of atmospheric humidity, level of pollution, way of using. 

The following precautions are recommended when using the watch:

a) Never pull the crown when the watch isn’t completely dry.

b) Do not use the crown when the watch is in water or wet.

c) Avoid significant variations in temperature as they may fog up the display.

d) If condensation does appear, immediately pull the crown to position 2 and place the watch in a dry and warm place. 

e) Keep the watch in a dry place.

f) If the watch is not worn for a longer period of time (one year or more), it is recommended to have the battery removed at an authorized service.

g) Use a soft, damp piece of cloth to clean the watch. Do not submerge it in water. 

h) Occasionally verify the strap and the spring bars. In this way, chances of losing or accidentally damaging the watch decrease.

i) Perform all maintenance operations (battery or crown replacement, periodic review) only at authorized services.

Leather Goods

The warranty period of Optimef leather goods is 2 years from the date of purchase. This warranty applies only to defects in materials and workmanship and only where the products are properly handled and stored. The warranty is valid according only if it is accompanied by the receipt which serves as proof of purchase. Failing to provide this document, the warranty loses its validity. 

If all recommendations and general instructions for use are respected (and, where applicable, the specific instructions for use as well) and the product presents defects caused by inadequate materials or labor, we guarantee to repair or replace the product with a similar one without any additional costs from your behalf. However, manufacturing defects are evaluated on a case by case basis. In case you need to get in touch with us regarding the warranty procedure, please write us an e-mail to support@optimef.com.

Please note that our leather products are constructed using natural full grain leather. Incidental tonal variations, marks, veins and minor creases are natural features, not imperfections.

 

LEATHER GOODS CARE

To make sure you enjoy your Optimef bag for a long time, we recommend the following:

 

  • Materials such as patent leather or matt dark coloured leather could colour transfer or fade. Avoid repeated contact with other coloured material and overexposure to heat and direct light.
  • Keep your leather goods in the dust bag provided whenever you can, to protect it from being marked.
  • Take extra care with light coloured items, which tend to mark more easily. They are susceptible to discolouration, so avoid contact with darker items.
  • Do not overfill your handbag, as it may lose shape or you may damage its handles.
  • Hardware should avoid hard contact with other objects and excessive movements.
  • (for belts) Make sure you wear the right size. Wearing a belt that is too large for your waist will often result in lines and creases, while wearing a belt that is too small may cause a rip in the belt.

 

  • Do not expose to moisture, perfume, chemical or oily products.
  • If leather should get wet, let it dry and rub gently with a soft cloth.
