To clean your Seiko Dive watch, follow these steps based on the type of cleaning needed:
General Cleaning
For general maintenance and to remove everyday moisture, sweat, or dirt, the process is simple.
- Wipe away moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft cloth.
This helps keep the watch clean and prevents build-up from daily wear.
Cleaning After Seawater Exposure
Exposure to saltwater requires a more specific cleaning process to prevent corrosion and damage. It is crucial to clean your watch thoroughly after it has been in the ocean.
After soaking the watch in seawater, be sure to wash the watch in clean pure water and wipe it dry carefully.
Follow these specific steps:
- Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch.
- Instead, put some water into a bowl first, and then soak the watch in the water to wash it.
- After washing, wipe it dry carefully with a soft cloth.
This method ensures that saltwater residue is effectively removed without exposing the watch to the potentially damaging force of direct running water.
By following these simple procedures, you can help maintain the condition and longevity of your Seiko Dive watch.
