No, items must be delivered to the address provided on the order and must be signed for.

Yes, you most definitely can! Each watch model is pressure tested to 100m /330 feet and 300m for diver models.  The top quality solid stainless steel construction will prevent salt water from eating into the watch.

The fonts on the face are all clear and extremely sharp so you can easy read the time and date.

No. Just like with the Asian watches, there are different grades of qualities even for these top quality watches. The first grade, which is the type some retailers sell (and try to represent them as 27-jewel ETA watches), carries a movement that is a copy of the Swiss ETA movement. Although these are very high in quality as well, the truth is, you are not getting a genuine Swiss movement, nor are you getting the same craftsmanship as in our Swiss movement watches. Because of the high price and materials used you will not find a Swiss movement watch anywhere on the internet for under $1000. If you do then we are almost certain that that watch will not have a genuine Swiss movement. As the saying goes “you get what you pay for” and this is no different with these watches.

Replacement straps, pins and bezels can be purchased by contacting our support staff.

Watches require regular servicing to maintain optimum efficiency. Service is normally required every 5 years.

Steamy environments; wearing a watch in a hot, steamy environment can potentially cause the case to expand and contract resulting in condensation inside the watch that may damage vital internal parts. Magnetic fields; placing your watch near speakers, refrigerators or other items with strong magnetic fields can potentially cause the movement to fail or function incorrectly. Leaving the crown out or unscrewed when worn in water Extreme temperatures above 140f or 60c and below -40f or -40c. Extreme changes in temperature can cause the case to expand and contract resulting in condensation to form inside the watch. Heavy constant vibration or sudden impact; for example with pneumatic drills and machinery or dropping onto hard surfaces Chemical Products: Avoid contacts with solvents, detergents, perfumes and cosmetic products which can affect the life span of a polymer straps and potentially crown gaskets and seals.

Our watches can be cleaned by using a soft tooth brush and cold water in the event that they are dirtied by mud or dust.

If the warranty term has expired, repairs, servicing and battery replacement can be carried out by an alternative service center or directly with us. However, we strongly recommend that you seek a reputable Swiss watch service center with trained technicians and the facilities to perform a pressure test so that water resistance is maintained. Please note that service centers that are not registered with us may not have all of the components required to carry out an efficient service.

A pressure test during the service or repair will determine whether your watch is still water resistant to the manufacturer’s specification. This test is always required when a repair or service has taken place and the case has been opened.  It is recommended that servicing, replacing the gaskets and seals and pressure testing should be carried out every two years on watches that are regularly used in water to ensure continued water resistance.

Each watch models is pressure tested up to 100m / 330 feet and 300m for diver models. Water resistance refers to the watch’s ability to resist water from entering the case, and is determined by how well the watch case is sealed. Water resistance does not refer explicitly to the depth a watch can safely go and is measured in various units including bar, atmospheres or feet. Water resistance is determined by the amount of pressure a watch can withstand, not the depth it can withstand. It is recommended that a watch which is used regularly in water should undergo a service replacing the gaskets and seals every two years to ensure optimum water resistance.

Regardless of brand, price or model, it is recommended across the industry that watches should not be worn in steamy environments such as the shower, saunas or spas. If the water temperature is hot, the watch case may expand and contract causing a vacuum and rendering the gaskets less effective at keeping out moisture and especially steam. While the watch is in a warm environment the case will try to purge air that has also expanded, and when the watch is moved to a cooler environment, it will attempt to draw air in which will condensate once the watch cools. Additionally, soaps, gels and hot steam can affect the nylon seals and the oils found inside all watches regardless of their pressure rating.
