How it compares to other Navitimers

Care, use, and practical tips

• To keep the slide-rule bezel responsive, handle it with a light touch and avoid excessive force when turning.
• Even though it’s water resistant to 30 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water or moisture to protect the crown and gaskets.
• Regular maintenance and occasional servicing will help preserve chronometer accuracy and the bezel’s alignment.
• Store the watch with the bracelet closed to minimize scratches on the polished surfaces.
