Description

my leather strap is showing signs of wear. Is this normal? our luxurious leather straps are treated using the highest-quality tanning methods. Variations and imperfections are characteristic of genuine tanned leather products, which may darken, fade or change in colour and texture over time. This is evidence of the leather’s purity, not a defect, fault or quality issue. We consider the natural ageing process as part of the beauty of organic materials. in order to preserve your leather, we recommend treating your strap with a leather protector before wear to provide resistance against dirt and moisture. Remember to keep your leather strap away from intense sunlight, heat, water, humidity, makeup and perfume to prevent any damage or marking. when it comes to removing small stains, we suggest gently wiping the leather with a soft, thoroughly wrung cloth and mild soapy water. Repeat using clean water. straps are not covered under warranty, but we do hold limited stock of replacement straps that are available to purchase. You should expect to have to replace light-coloured straps around every 12 months. can i buy a leather alternative? olivia burton is proud to offer a range of vegan-friendly watches, featuring soft faux leather straps.

To keep your watch looking pristine, we always recommend removing your watch when it may come into contact with water, perfumes and body creams. please note: rose-gold plating is, by nature, less durable and will fade quicker over time. is my watch waterproof? your watch has a water-resistant rating of 1atm or 10m (1 bar), making it suitable for everyday use and resistant to modest water/rain splashes. to prolong your watch’s lifespan, we always recommend removing it before swimming, showering and bathing. it’s also vital to take off your watch before entering a steam room or a sauna. Extreme heat can cause watch seals to expand and create openings for water droplets to penetrate inside the design. please note: any water damage to your watch is not covered under warranty. how long should my battery last? the average battery life is 12 months.
