Watch care and maintenance

Each Sturmanskie watch comes with a user manual describing how to wind and look after that particular model.

All manuals can be found on the USER MANUALS page.

The lifespan of your Sturmanskie watch directly depends on how well you take care of it.

Magnetic field

Your watch may stop when exposed to a magnetic field. Do not expose it directly to strong magnetic fields.

Chemicals

Do not expose the watch to solvents, mercury, cosmetic sprays, cleaning agents or dyes.

Bumps and vibrations

Your watch is designed to withstand light bumps and vibrations. Avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or knocking it against solid objects.

Care of the case and bracelet

Damage to the case and bracelet can be caused by dust, moisture or sweat — wipe them from time to time with a soft cloth.

Temperature

Do not expose your watch to extreme temperature changes (for example, do not leave it in the sun after it has been in cold water), and protect it from strong heat or cold (above 60 °C or below 0 °C).

Water

The water resistance rating is usually indicated on the back of the watch case.

30 metres (3 ATM) — the minimum protection: the watch withstands accidental splashes and sweat. It is not recommended to wear it in the rain or while washing your hands.

50 metres (5 ATM) — the watch withstands splashes, rain and hand washing. Swimming is not recommended.

300 metres (30 ATM) — the watch is suitable for deep water diving (scuba diving).

Strap

The average life of a leather strap is one year. It depends on how intensively the watch is worn and on the conditions of use.

Protect the strap from moisture, water and sunlight to avoid deformation and loss of colour. Fasten the strap so that a small gap remains between it and your wrist.

Every three or four weeks a leather or textile strap can be washed in soapy water and then dried naturally.
