CARE FOR YOUR WATCH CRYSTAL: Wipe the crystal with a fine micro-fiber cloth. Although the
mineral watch crystal is considered impervious to most abrasions it can be scratched by very hard
minerals such as a diamond or diamond treated substances, e.g. filing emery board or jewelry.
In the event there is a mishap, e g , condiment, tea, or non-abrasive liquid, use a lightly water-
dampened, non-abrasive cloth to wipe off most impurities and finish with a dry micro-fiber cloth.
(Do not use soap)
WARNING: Diamonds, diamond jewelry, emery boards can cause damage to your sapphire
crystal Please take extra care when these materials are present
