5. SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
AND PRODUCT CARE
MAGNETIC FIELDS
So as not to affect the running of your watch,
avoid placing it near magnetic fields created
by objects such as magnets, mobile phones,
speakers, etc.
SHOCKS
Avoid all types of shocks, whether physical,
thermal or other.
TEMPERATURE
Avoid exposing your watch to extreme tempera-
tures (over 60°C or 140°F and under 0°C or
32°F) or to sudden fluctuations in temperature.
SALT-WATER
Always rinse your watch with clear and fresh
water afterwards.
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
Avoid all direct contact with all chemical
products, solvents, detergents, perfumes, cos-
metics, etc. which may damage the leather
strap, the bracelet or the case.
ANTI-REFLECTIVE TREATMENT
The anti-reflective treatment of the sapphire
crystal glass improves the visibility of the dial
of the watch. Everyday wear can cause marks
to appear (scratches, chips, etc.). These are
considered normal and are not covered by the
warranty.
CLEANING
Use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean met-
al bracelets, rubber straps and water-
resistant cases and a soft cloth to dry them off
afterwards.
LEATHER STRAPS
Protect leather straps from grease, water and
humidity and avoid excessive exposure to sun-
light.
BATTERIES
We recommend that you contact an official
Maurice Lacroix service centre or official
Maurice Lacroix retailer, as they are equipped
with the tools and apparatus required to carry
out the work and the necessary checks in a
professional manner. A worn-out battery
should be replaced immediately in order to
reduce the risk of leakage and consequent
damage to the movement.
WHAT ARE THE SERVICE INTERVALS?
Like all micro-mechanical precision instru-
ments, your watch should be serviced regular-
ly to ensure that it runs perfectly. We cannot
say how often you should have your watch
serviced as this depends on the model, the cli-
mate where you live and how you look after
the watch yourself. As a rule, a watch should
be serviced every 4-5 years, depending on
the conditions in which it is worn.
