Skagen Ditte User Manual

INSTRUCTIONS AND CARE

WATCH CARE

Skagen suggests the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:

3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water

4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water. *Do not use soap products, soap will leave residue behind when dry.

These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces.

To clean the case and crystal:

Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. Avoid immersing or soaking the case or crystal portion of the watch, regardless of water resistance rating.

To clean the band or strap:

Metal: Dip a cotton swab into the above solution and gently rub it on the unclean area of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch during this process so as not to soak it. For stubborn dirt, you may want to take your watch in to the nearest Skagen location.

Silicon, Felt and Ceramic: Simply wipe the strap down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may damage the material.

Leather: Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only. You may want to use leather conditioner or a small amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may develop a milky “haze” if left alone for extended periods. This can simply be wiped away or removed with leather conditioner. A product called “nubuck eraser” can be used to remove light stains and debris from the inside of the strap.

MESH BAND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

TO ADJUST THE BAND: LIFT – SHIFT - PRESS

1. Position a athead screwdriver or other adjustment tool in the slot on the clasp. Lift the bar in the direction facing away from the straight pin.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tool handle points toward the watch case.

Pressing the adjustment tool against the straight pin may bend and destroy the pin.

2. Shift the adjustable buckle to the desired position. Clasp must be placed in one of the adjustment indentations on the back of the band.

3. Press the slotted clasp closed.

TO SECURE THE BAND: HOOK – SNAP - CLASP

SIZING A LINK STRAP

Using a small pointed tool, insert tip into hole on underside of band and push the pin out. Grasp the pin and pull out. Arrows on the band indicate the direction that the links are to be removed. In order to remove one link, two pins must be removed. If removing more than one link, remove an equal number of links from both sides to keep the symmetry of the wrist band. After removing the necessary number of links, tap the remaining pins back into places using a small hammer.
