Congratulations on your purchase of the Braun Prestige
Analogue watch.
Implementing new technical solutions for the benefit
of functionality has always been an important part of
the Braun design tradition. The case of your watch is
carved of one single block of steel. This 'monocoque'
construction eliminates the need for a case-back
and in turn removes the element of potential leakage.
The movement is mounted into the case from the top
before being covered and sealed by the crystal. This
allowed the Braun designers to taper the bottom part
of the watch more elegantly and attach the band-
lugs in such a way, that would not be possible with
conventional watch construction.
The result is not only striking in appearance but
moreover the elimination of a case back gives the watch
an added structural advantage as there is a better
protection against water.
For servicing and repairs, the removal of the access-
screw on the back of the watch gives access to
the stem release-catch; after removal of the crown
and stem, pressured air is inserted to blow-out the
crystal. Thereafter, the entire movement, together
with the dial and hands are easily removed from the
top. Experienced watchmakers with the necessary
equipment should only perform this operation and the
removal of the access-screw by any other persons
without the required expertise is highly discouraged.
