RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Favre-Leuba watch is a precision
instrument of the highest quality. In order to
ensure that it continues to work perfectly
over many years, we advise you to observe
the following recommendations concerning
maintenance and service intervals.
• Do not put your watch on any devices
that generate magnetic fields, such as
loudspeakers or refrigerators. These
magnetic fields can damage your watch.
• Always rinse your watch with fresh water
after contact with sea or chlorinated
water. Allow leather straps to dry in the
air, never on any heating devices.
• As a precaution, avoid thermal and other
shocks.
• Always lock the crown carefully. This is
the only way to ensure that no water can
penetrate the case and the movement.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean metallic straps and water-resistant
cases with a toothbrush and soapy water.
Use a soft cloth for drying.
• Note that chemical products such as
solvents and detergents, perfume and
cosmetics can damage the strap, case or
seals.
• Avoid exposing your watch to extreme
temperatures (over 60°C or 140°F and
under 0°C or 32°F) and to large
tem perature fluctuations.
• Never use chronograph buttons under
water, otherwise water may penetrate the
case and thus the movement.
All watches from Favre-Leuba are water-
resistant and can withstand water pressure
of at least 30 bar (depth of 300 meters). The
details of the water-resistance of your
Favre-Leuba watch is engraved into the
base of the case. The absolute water-
resistance of a watch is not permanent
and can be affected by ageing of the seals

or by impacts on the crown. We therefore
recommend that you have the water-
resistance of your watch checked annually
or after exposure to unusual stress. This
check must also be carried out after opening
the watch and after servicing. In order to
comply with the terms of the warranty, this
check must be carried out by an authorized
Favre-Leuba service center or an authorized
Favre-Leuba retailer.
Equivalent values for water-resistance in both metric and
Anglo-Saxon systems:

* The values of water depth, given in feet or meters, correspond to the pressure measured
during tests in accordance with the ISO 22810 standard.
Information about water-resistance in
meters, feet or bar refers to theoretical
pressure and temperature test standards
and cannot be equated with the actual
depth of a dive. With watches that are
watertight up to 100 m/10 bar, you can
wash your hands, take a shower and go
swimming; with watches that are water-
resistant from 200 m/20 bar onwards, you
can also go diving
Please note the following information for the
optimal water-resistance of your watch:
• After every action such as manual winding
or setting the time, move the crown back
into position

and simultaneously turning it clockwise to

.
• Protect the crown against impacts.
• Never use the crown or buttons under
water.
NOTE:
IMPORTANT:
All of the parts of your Favre-Leuba watch
are made from the best materials. Some of
these parts are subject to natural wear. You
should therefore have your watch serviced
regularly to ensure that it is working
perfectly. The frequency of servicing
depends on the model, the climate in which
the watch is used and the way it is treated.
However, it is generally advisable to have
your watch serviced carefully every four or
five years at an official Favre-Leuba service
center. These centers have the tools and
equipment required to carry out servicing
work professionally, and guarantee that their
services meet our strict quality standards.
