4.4
ANTI-
REFLECTIVE
TREATMENT
OF THE
SAPPHIRE
CRYSTAL
The anti-reflective treatment of the sapphire crys-
tal improves the visibility and contrast of your
watch's dial. Normal daily use and wear and tear
may cause marks to appear on the coating. These
are considered normal and are therefore not cove-
red by the warranty.
4.5
SCREW-IN
CROWN
Some Alpina watches have a screw-in crown,
which must be unscrewed to change the time or
the date. After use, the crown must be pressed
against the case and screwed in tightly. Failure
to do so will compromise the water-resistance of
your watch.
