Watch Care Instructions

Items to Prepare:
Please have a soft cloth ready to avoid scratching the stainless steel. A microfiber cloth is recommended.

Case, Crown, and Metal Bracelet:
Before starting, check the entire watch and remove any dust or particles that may cause scratches.
Use a clean soft cloth or clean microfiber cloth to wipe off any dirt or grime from the case, crown, and metal bracelet. When cleaning the crown, wipe it without pulling it out from the case. If you don't frequently adjust the crown, it is recommended to rotate it a few times to prevent rust.
Note: If you are particularly concerned about dirt on the metal bracelet, you can prepare a spring bar tool and remove the metal bracelet from the case to wash it with soapy water.

Handling of Magnetic Fields

I.TARU watches are automatic mechanical watches that are not resistant to magnetic fields. Please keep them away from strong magnetic devices such as refrigerators and induction cookers. Also, avoid placing them near magnets, such as in women's handbags. When using them near common electrical devices like smartphones, maintain a distance of at least 5cm.

For more detailed information on magnetism, please visit the website of the Japan Watch Association (Japan Clock & Watch Association).

Periodical maintenance / overhaul

By having the watch disassembled and cleaned every 3 to 5 years from the date of purchase, you can continue to use it for a long time.
