CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Like any finely crafted mechanism, your Movado
watch requires periodic maintenance to ensure
optimal performance. Maintenance includes
complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of
parts as needed, reassembly and lubrication of the
movement. A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years
is recommended, in addition to any required
battery replacement.

Never open the watch yourself. If your watch
needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly
to a Movado Authorized Service Center. For a
complete worldwide listing, visit us online at
http://service.movadogroup.com.

NOTE: The Movado Watch Company assumes
responsibility only for service performed at its
Authorized Service Centers.

Shock

All Movado watches have shock-resistant
movements, individually tested to meet
international standards.

Dust

Dust can enter a watch if the case, crystal or crown
is not intact. A small particle is enough to stop the
movement. Have your watch repaired promptly if
the crystal becomes loose, chipped or cracked, or if
there is damage to the case or crown.

Magnetism

The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic
fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it

Your Authorized Movado Service Center will
automatically retest your watch for water
resistance as a routine step in all service orders.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down
crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back
down into the case after every operation.

Water resistance applies only to the watch case;
some watch straps should not be worn under
water or subjected to wet conditions. Please see
Strap Care.

Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and
excessive temperature variations.

Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard
surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after
every violent shock.

Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft
cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after
exposure to seawater.

Strap Care

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.

Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to
water may cause a leather watch strap to become
brittle and eventually break. To preserve the finish
of the leather, contact with perfumes should be
avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or salt
water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with
fresh water, and air dry.

to stop. A quartz watch should resume working
with its original accuracy when removed from the
magnetic field; a mechanical timepiece may require
demagnetization before it will operate again.

Water Resistance

All Movado watches are tested to meet
international standards for water resistance.

Most styles are water resistant to 3 bar
(3 ATM/30 meters/99 feet); certain models are
water resistant to even greater pressures/depths,
as marked on the dial or case back.

CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not
marked on your watch, do not subject it to a
pressure/depth greater than 3 bar (3 ATM/
30 meters/99 feet), or your watch could be
damaged and your warranty will be voided.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the watch crown,
push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any
other pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet
or under water.

NOTE: The Movado Watch Company will not be
responsible for any damage caused by or related
to leakage originating from improper handling or
damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.

To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is
required. The gaskets and crown which seal the
case are subject to wear and deterioration under
normal use. These parts should be inspected and
replaced as needed each time the watch is opened
for service, including battery changes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Standard 2-Hand Models

Quartz and Automatic

Figure 1

Crown Positions:

Position 1 - Normal position.

Crown pushed into case.

Position 2 - To set TIME:

Rotate crown in either direction.

To manually wind an automatic
movement:

The motion of your arm during normal daily
activities should be sufficient to keep the
movement of your Movado automatic timepiece
wound. However, if you have not worn your watch
for more than 40 hours and the watch has
stopped, you will need to wind it by hand before
setting the time:

1. With the crown in position 1, turn the crown
clockwise approximately 20 revolutions.

2. Reset time following instructions above.

11

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.

Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to
a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800
ThermoResilient™ strap; then wipe with a second
clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse
carefully under warm running water. Contact with
acetone and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.

NOTE: Movado watch straps are not covered by
the Movado watch warranty.

Battery Information

A Movado quartz timepiece has a 1.55 Volt
silver-oxide battery that is specially designed for
watches. It will last approximately 18-36 months
under normal use.

NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the
stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may
shorten battery life.

End-of-life feature: The seconds hand on many
models will start to move haltingly in 4-second
increments when the battery is almost exhausted,
signaling the need to have it replaced.

Battery replacement: It is important to use only the
replacement battery recommended by Movado.

Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service
Center to have battery changed – your old battery
will be disposed of/recycled properly. Do not
attempt to change the battery yourself.
