Regular cleaning maintains your watch's appearance and longevity. A few minutes of care each week keeps your timepiece looking brand new.
Regular Wiping
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe down your watch after each wear. This removes oils, dust, and fingerprints that can dull the finish over time.
Deep Cleaning
Monthly, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to clean the case and bracelet. Avoid getting water near the crown or pushers unless your watch is water-resistant.
Crystal Care
Clean the crystal with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, a little glass cleaner on the cloth works fine. Specific crystal type varies by model, see the product page for details on your specific watch.
Bracelet Maintenance
For metal bracelets, use a soft brush to clean between links. Leather straps should be wiped with a dry cloth and conditioned every few months.
PROTECTION
Proper Storage
How you store your watch when not wearing it is just as important as how you care for it during use.
Watch Box or Case
Store your watch in a dedicated watch box or case with soft lining. Lido watches ship with a brand box that doubles as a storage case.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade dial colors and damage leather straps. Store in a cool, dark place when not wearing.
Temperature Control
Extreme temperatures can affect accuracy and damage components. Avoid storing near heat sources or in very cold environments.
Separate Storage
Keep watches separated to prevent scratching. If storing multiple pieces, ensure they don't touch each other or harder jewelry.
Daily Habits
Wearing Your Watch
Simple habits while wearing your watch can significantly extend its life and maintain its beauty.
1
Proper Fit
Your watch should fit snugly but comfortably. You should be able to fit one finger between the bracelet and your wrist. Adjust links as needed.
2
Avoid Chemicals
Remove your watch before applying perfume, cologne, lotions, or cleaning products. These chemicals can damage the finish and seals.
3
Impact Protection
While our watches are built to last, avoid wearing during high-impact activities like sports or heavy manual work to prevent damage.
4
Regular Wear
Wearing your watch regularly actually helps keep it in good condition. The natural movement helps distribute lubricants in mechanical components.
