However, unless the watch is labeled as a diver's watch, we do not recommend swimming with it. A watch that is water resistant to 3ATM, for example, is built to withstand the average pressure (3 atmospheres) occurring at 99 feet or 30 meters below the ocean's surface.Īll Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. A water-resistant watch has gaskets which together with the crown and crystal help seal the case against average water pressure at a stated pressure or depth. For best results, treat all stains/soil promptly. Please test for color fastness on inside surface before applying any solution.

Repeat 2 to 3 times until stain disappears. Wipe soiled area with a soft wet cloth, then dampen a cotton ball or soft clean white cloth with the cleansing solution, and rub soiled area gently. Simply rub the natural gum gently across the soiled area until the strap/bracelet is clean.įor stains that have penetrated the surface of a white Movado BOLD strap or bracelet, organic solvents like Zymol liquid leather cleaner or Columbus gel super cleaner, a de-inking roller (ethyl alcohol and propylene ink remover) or an ethyl alcohol-based solution such as Purell hand sanitizer (62% ethyl alcohol) may be used. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.Ī natural gum rubber or “rubber cement pick-up” (found in art supply stores) may be used to remove most surface stains from a Movado BOLD coated white leather strap or white TR90/silicone bracelet. Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800 ThermoResin™ strap or a Movado Master white rubber strap then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin™ or XTremeResin™ strap, rinse it using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.

Following exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and eventually break. While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which you live, proper care will extend its life.
