Warning: When your watch is submerged in water, do not
pull on the crown or press any of the pushbuttons to adjust
the date, the hour or any other function because water may
enter the case.
If you notice any condensation inside your watch, you must
take it immediately to an authorized Baume & Mercier
retailer or After-Sales Service Center.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
O u r e nv i r o n m e n t e x p e r i e n c e s i n c r e a s i n g l e ve l s of
disturbances caused by magnetic sources. These disturbances
may affect the proper functioning of your watch, whether
quartz or mechanical.
A quartz watch may be affected by a strong magnetic
field. However, once the watch is no longer in the magnetic
field, it will quickly resume proper functioning. T he
disturbance will only last as long as the watch is within
the magnetic field. A mechanical watch is also sensitive
to strong magnetic fields. In certain cases, a disturbance
may magnetize the steel components inside the movement,
especially the spiral spring. Certain components could
become attracted to one another causing the watch to
suddenly jump forward and then stop. If this happens,
the watch needs to be demagnetized by an authorized
Baume & Mercier retailer or After-Sales Service Center.
DAY-TO-DAY CARE
Metal case and bracelet
To preserve the brilliance of both your watch and its metal
bracelet, if necessary, we recommend you brush it gently
using a soft brush (a soft toothbrush, for example) and warm
soapy water. When you have finished, rinse it carefully with
fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth. The same cleaning is
recommended after swimming with your watch in the ocean
or a swimming pool.
Before cleaning your watch, make certain that the crown
is tightly closed (pressed or screwed-down, depending on
the model).
Leather strap
The life span of a leather strap depends on how often it is
worn and under what conditions.
To protect your leather strap for as long as possible, we
recommend you keep it away from water, humidity, oils and
cosmetics, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Rubber strap
The life span of a rubber strap depends on how often it is
worn and under what conditions. To conserve your rubber
strap for as long as possible, we recommend you keep it away
from oils and cosmetics and avoid prolonged exposure to
sunlight. Furthermore, you may clean your rubber strap with
soapy water.
Note : We recommend you have your metal, leather, or rubber
strap changed by an authorized Baume & Mercier retailer.
The retailer will be able to offer you an array of straps
perfectly suited to your watch.
