Tim: IWI watches are made to very high standards of quality. It is worth remembering that the mechanical parts run 24 hours a day when used, so the watch must undergo regular maintenance to ensure long life and good operation.
Tim: To keep your IWI watch in good condition externally, we recommend that you wash it with lukewarm, soapy water using a soft brush. After this process, as after each immersion in the sea or a swimming pool, thoroughly rinse the watch with fresh water. We recommend you clean your IWI watch with a soft, dry cloth.
Tim: Our straps are treated for superior resistance to humidity, nevertheless, we suggest that you limit time your strap spends in water to prolong the life of your leather strap. The straps must be washed with soap and lukewarm water and left to dry. They should not be dried on a warm surface since the rapid evaporation of water might damage their shape and quality. After each immersion in the sea or swimming pool, thoroughly rinse the strap with fresh water. To replace the strap, we recommend that you visit an IWI Authorised Service Centre or return the watch direct to the IWI workshop. In this way you will avoid the inconvenience that may be caused by improper replacement. Only Authorised IWI Service Centres and the IWI Workshop guarantee the use of authentic IWI straps, each IWI strap is specially designed to fit the dimensions of the case and produced according to our quality criteria.
Tim: Have the movement of your watch inspected every two years by an Authorised IWI Service Centre, in order to keep it in good working order. If the watch is significantly fast or slow, it may be necessary to regulate the movement.
Tim: Periodically check the water resistance of your watch at an Authorised IWI Service Centre or by the IWI Workshop and have it re-sealed every two years or, each time the watch is opened. The re-sealing of the watch to maintain the water resistance requires the replacement of a unique seal in order to guarantee maximum water resistance and safety. In cases where the watch frequently comes into contact with water for diving or other sports we recommend an annual inspection.
After each re-seal, your IWI Watch is returned with a stamp on its service history booklet and the watch has a label attached to give you peace of mind that one of your proudest possessions is once again protected.
Each IWI Watch has its own character. After all, it is individually built, finished, inspected and tested by a master watchmaker. There is no mass production, no automation. Our customers are buying a watch that has been made by hand, meticulously tested by artisans and only after having passed all of our tests do the watches leave the workshop.
