Baume & Mercier Clifton Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 17

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

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.
Mother-of-pearl
Baume & Mercier recommends cleaning it gently with either
a soft dry cloth or clear water. Let the watch dry completely
before storing. It is best not to combine mother-of-pearl
with perfume or body lotion, which can be detrimental to its
iridescent reflections. Therefore, always wait approximately
10 minutes between applying perfume/body lotion and
putting your watch on. Your mother-of-pearl adorned watch
will be safer when stored in a soft cotton bag.
Chemicals
Avoid direct contact with any solvents, detergents, perfumes
or cosmetic products which may damage the bracelet, the
case or the joints.
