Q: How should I care for the leather strap and case? A: To keep the watch looking its best, avoid water, perfume, lotions, and prolonged direct sunlight on the leather strap. Wipe the case gently with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store the watch in a dry place away from excess heat and humidity.
