TAKING CARE OF YOUR WATCH.

- Keep you watch clean. Dust and dirt tend to collect in gaps in the back of the case or band.

- Clean the watch occasionally. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe off dirt, perspiration and water from the case and crystal.

- Do not use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature. (above 60°C, or 140°F, below 0°C, or 32°F) or extreme temperature changes.

- Never open the watch yourself.

- Whether thermal or other Shocks avoid them.

- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the color from fading.

- Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetic products etc., since they may damage the bracelet, the case or the gaskets.

- To ensure water-resistance, gaskets must be replaced every 24 months a part of maintenance.

- Do not place the watch to a magnet. Timekeeping will become inaccurate.

- Leather straps look better if they are kept dry. Salt water is particularly harmful. Do not forget that leather is permeable! Therefore avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetic products. If you have a problem with your leather strap, please contact your nearest ZENO retailer.

- Store your watch in a dry place when you are not using it.

- Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in (normal position).

- If your watch has a screw-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.

- Do not operate the crown with wet fingers or when the watch is wet. Water may enter the watch and compromise water resistance.

The water-resistance is guaranteed by several seals but cannot be considered as permanent protection.
They are subject to a natural aging process and need to be replaced after a certain time of use. However, under certain circumstances, the integrity of the moisture resistance may become compromised within a shorter period of time.

Furthermore, impacts to the crown can influence the water-resistance as well.
A perfect long-term protection is given by annual water-resistance tests.

The "Water Resistant" mark has come to replace the "Water Proof" and is now described
by the ISO-Standard 2281: Declaration on dial or back

We recommend to have your watch tested annually by one of our authorized Service Center’s,
especially before summer holidays.

- To ensure water-resistance, gaskets must be replaced every 24 months a part of maintenance.
- If moisture has entered the watch, or it the inside to the crystal is fogged up and does not become
clear within a day, or sea water enters the watch, immediately the watch to a Service Center for repair.
- Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discoloration and deformation.
- Leaving the watch in such a state will allow corrosion to form inside.
- Accumulated dust and dirt may cause corrosion and soil your clothing.
- When you want bathing in the sea, always rinse your watch with warm water afterwards.

Condensation can appear in any watch and is caused by a sudden change in temperature i.e.
When a watch is removed from a cold room and placed into a warm room, or vice versa. The appearance of condensation does not mean the watch will not operate but it should be checked by us.


Diving Watch:
- The unidirectional turning bezel on your ZENO Diving-Watch, with its precision ratchet, is for
the measurement of dive time. The shape of the bezel is designed for easy hand rotation, even with
diving gloves. For safety, the bezel can only turn counterclockwise. If it is accidentally moved it will
indicate a longer elapsed dive time. At the start of a dive, turn the bezel so that the zero mark is
in front of the minute-hand. The minute hand will always show the number of minutes that have
elapsed since the dive started.

The solid construction and the protection system of the diving watch guarantee maximum reliability. To ensure water-resistance, we recommend that the watch is checked once a year by you ZENO retailer. Clean the watch regularly with lukewarm soapy water. This cleaning is especially recommended after contact with sea water.

We recommend that a general overhaul be performed every three years and that all
water resistant watches be tested once a year for case tightness.

As a general rule, service intervals are between 3 and 7 years, depending on the use.
