Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Elgin Wristwatch, a few essential maintenance and care guidelines should be followed:

1. Setting the Time and Winding: Before wearing the watch on your wrist, make sure to set the time and wind it. This practice prevents applying excessive pressure on the watch while winding it on your hand.

2. Regular Cleaning: Keep your watch, excluding leather straps, clean by regularly wiping it with a soft cloth. This helps maintain its pristine appearance and prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust.

3. Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperature changes, moisture, direct sunlight, and strong magnetic fields. Exposure to these elements can potentially damage the delicate mechanisms of the timepiece.
