MAINTENANCE
HUGINN IS A MECHANICAL AUTOMATIC SWISS MADE WATCH WITH SELF WINDING
SYSTEM.
To start and set the watch, wind it automatically or manually (by turning the
crown clockwise a few revolutions until the second hand moves). Secondly, you
should set the time and date (for instructions on setting the time and date,
see the section on the model you have purchased).
Wearing the watch during the day for approximately 14 hours, the self-winding
mechanism will provide a power reserve of approximately 38-40 hours. If you
wear the watch for less than 12 hours, the power reserve will not reach
maximum charge and will run out before 38 hours.
Please note: the achieved power reserve may vary, depending on numerous
factors including wrist movement, temperature (standard normal wrist
temperature: between 5-50 degrees).
If you do not wear your watch every day but wish to maintain its power
reserve, we recommend you purchase an automatic watch winder which allows you
to place the watch on its rotating mounts which make it turn in two
directions, always maintaining the watch with its maximum power reserve.
If you prefer to wind the watch manually when you are not wearing it, you need
to turn the crown every day for about 40 complete revolutions to get the 38-40
hours power reserve.
Each time you turn the crown with your fingers you only make half a
revolution, so it is recommended to double the number of revolutions with your
fingers to reach full revolutions.
PLEASE NOTE : it is strictly forbidden the use of electric motors or
plastic bands to turn the crown. It can seriously damage the mechanism. The
SBW factory will not cover any damage related to this.
WATER RESISTANCE
The watch is 10 ATM water-resistant to the depth indicated according to each
model. It does not have a screw-down crown but a triple gasket that guarantees
water resistance.
To ensure water resistance, check the actual resistance and expose the watch
to the correct situation, ensuring that the crown is fully against the case.
Although some of our watches are designed and constructed in such a way that
the pushers and crown can be used even when submerged in water, we recommend
that they are not triggered when the watch is under water, as the internal
seals of these devices are damaged by knocks or corrosive substances (not
visible to the naked eye) which can cause risky infiltration of water or
moisture inside the movement.
If you wish to use these devices in a completely safe manner when the watch is
immersed in water, we recommend that you check the water-resistance of your
watch every year in a properly equipped service centre.
After using your watch in salt water, rinse it with fresh water at room
temperature.

SHOCKS
Avoid any kind of shocks whether physical or thermal to your watch do not
expose it to temperatures higher than 60°C or 140°F and lower than 0°C or
32°F.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Avoid placing the watch near loudspeakers or other apparatuses generating
magnetic fields.
CHEMICALS
Avoid direct contact with detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, solvents, etc.,
since they may damage the case gaskets, the strap or the bracelet.
CLEANING
To maintain the brightness of the watch, bracelet and strap, do not use
abrasive materials for cleaning.
Wash them by hand, using a soft-bristled brush.
Use lukewarm water and, at most, mild soap, then rinse with tap water and dry
with a soft cloth.
ANTI-REFLECTION
The anti-reflective treatment on sapphire crystals in watches consists of two
layers of special salts applied on both sides of the glass.
These films significantly reduce light reflection and considerably improve the
legibility of the dial and hands. For maximum anti-reflection efficiency, it
is recommended to clean the crystal carefully with a soft, clean cloth, such
as the one supplied.
LUMINOUS
The luminous featured in our watches is made only of non radioactive material
and glows only if the pigments have been fully activated so that they emit
light for about 5 hours with a descending performance.
Best results are achieved with direct sunlight or blue-white artificial lamps.
VEGETAL LEATHER STRAPS
Our leather straps are made from only the highest quality Italian handmade
vegetable leather. All our strap are waterproof.
The leather we use has been produced using natural methods and does not
contain no toxic compounds. In order to preserve the beauty and condition of
your watch strap for as long as possible, we recommend:
- Not to immerse the strap in water for a prolonged period of time
- Avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight or spot lights to prevent the color from fading
- Avoid contact with oily substances, creams and cosmetic products
- Clean it periodically with a brush or soft cloth
