Care and Maintenance

Like any finely crafted mechanism, your Movado watch requires periodic maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Maintenance includes complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of parts as needed, reassembly and lubrication of the movement. A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended, in addition to any required battery replacement.

Repair and Adjustment: Never open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to a Movado Authorized Service Center. For a complete worldwide listing, visit us online at http://www.movado.com
NOTE: The Movado Watch Company assumes responsibility only for service performed at its Authorized Service Centers.
Shock: All Movado watches have shock-resistant movements, individually tested to meet international standards.
Dust: Dust can enter a watch if the case, crystal or crown is not intact. A small particle is enough to stop the movement. Have your watch repaired promptly if the crystal becomes loose, chipped or cracked, or if there is damage to the case or crown.
Magnetism: The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; a mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it will operate again.
Water Resistance: All Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. Most styles are water resistant to 30 meters (3 bar/3ATM/99 feet); certain models are water resistant to even greater pressures/depths, as marked on the dial or case-back.

Caution: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater than 3 bar (3 ATM/30 meters/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be voided.

Important: Do not operate the watch crown, push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water.

NOTE: The Movado Watch Company will not be responsible for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from improper handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal. To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is required. The gaskets and crown which seal the case are subject to wear and deterioration under normal use. These parts should be inspected and replaced as needed each time the watch is opened for service, including battery changes. Your Authorized Movado Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a routine step in all service orders.

Other Precautions

Screw-down Crown or Pushers: If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back down into the case after every operation.
Water Resistance: Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or subjected to wet conditions. Please see STRAP CARE.
Temperature Variations: Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.
Physical Impact: Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every violent shock.
Cleaning: Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after exposure to seawater.

Strap Care

While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which you live, proper care will extend its life.

Leather Straps: Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and eventually break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.
ThermoResin™ or XTremeResin™ Straps: To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin™ or XTremeResin strap, rinse it using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.
White Series 800 ThermoResilient™ Strap or Movado Master White Rubber Strap: Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800 ThermoResilient™ strap or a Movado Master white rubber strap; then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.
Movado BOLD Coated White Leather Strap or White TR90/Silicone Bracelet: A natural gum rubber or “rubber cement pick-up” (found in art supply stores) may be used to remove most surface stains from a Movado BOLD coated white leather strap or white TR90/silicone bracelet. Simply rub the natural gum gently across the soiled area until the strap/bracelet is clean. For stains that have penetrated the surface of a white Movado BOLD strap or bracelet, organic solvents like Zymol liquid leather cleaner or Columbus gel super cleaner, a de-inking roller (ethyl alcohol and propylene ink remover) or an ethyl alcohol-based solution such as Purell hand sanitizer (62% ethyl alcohol) may be used. Wipe soiled area with a soft wet cloth. Then dampen a cotton ball or soft clean white cloth with the cleansing solution, and rub soiled area gently. Repeat 2 to 3 times until stain disappears. Please test for color fastness on inside surface before applying any solution. For best results, treat all stains/soil promptly.

NOTE: Movado watch straps are not covered by the Movado watch warranty.

Battery Information

A Movado quartz timepiece has a 1.55 Volt silver-oxide battery that is specially designed for watches. It will last approximately 18 – 36 months under normal use.

Note: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery life. End-of-life feature: The seconds hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 4-second increments when the battery is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced. Battery replacement: It is important to use only the replacement battery recommended by Movado. Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center to have battery changed – your old battery will be disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Movado 0606982 Quartz & Automatic 2-Hand Models, here are some common problems and solutions:

The watch is not keeping accurate time: Ensure the crown is tightly screwed in to maintain water resistance and prevent air from entering the watch.
The date is not changing: Make sure the crown is pulled out to the second position and turned to set the date. If the date still does not change, the watch may need a battery replacement or a service.
The watch is foggy or moisture is present: This could be a sign of water ingress. Have the watch inspected by a professional to ensure it is still water-resistant.
