 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your HUGO BOSS WATCH has been developed with meticulous attention to quality, function and detail. Please read
the following information and instructions carefully to learn about the features, proper care and operation of your new timepiece.
For additional information on service and repairs, please see the Service and Warranty section.

Never open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to an authorized Service Center.
For a complete worldwide listing, visit us online at www.mgiservice.com

SHOCK
All of our watches have shock-resistant movements and are tested to meet international standards for shock resistance.

MAGNETISM
The exposure of a timepiece to a strong magnetic field will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch
should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; an automatic or hand-wound
mechanical timepiece, however, may require demagnetization before it will operate again.

WATER RESISTANCE
All our watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. Most styles are water resistant to 3 bar
(3ATM/30 meters/99 feet); certain models are water resistant to even greater pressures, as marked on the dial or case-back.
These indications do not correspond to a diving depth but rather refer to the pressure at which the tests required to meet the
international water resistance standard were conducted.

CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater than 3 bar (3
ATM/30 meters/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be voided. Do not operate the watch crown,
push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers/ buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water.

Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or subjected to wet
conditions. Please see STRAP CARE.

Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.

Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every violent shock.

Carefully wipe your watch using a soft cloth dampened with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or sea water.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, be sure to screw it back down into the case after every operation.

STRAP CARE
While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which you live, proper
care will extend its life.

Leather strap should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and eventually break. To
preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or salt water,
gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.

To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a silicone or rubber strap, rinse it using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water
following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.

Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white silicone or rubber strap; then wipe with a
second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol
should be avoided.

NOTE: Watch straps are not covered by the watch warranty.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Your quartz analog watch or chronograph has a battery specially designed for watches. It will last approximately 18-
36 months under normal use.

14
 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery life.

End-of-life feature: The second hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 2 or 4 second increments when the
battery is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.

Battery replacement: Take or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center to have battery changed – your old battery will
be disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.

Collection and treatment of end of life quartz watches*

This product should not be discarded with household waste. To protect the environment and human health, it must be
returned to a local authorized collection system for proper recycling.

*Valid in the EU member states and in any countries with corresponding legislation.
