How to Care for Your Marvin Watch

Preserve Swiss precision. Protect timeless craftsmanship.

A Marvin timepiece is built with precision engineering and authentic Swiss craftsmanship. With proper care and regular maintenance, your watch can maintain its beauty, accuracy, and performance for years to come.

Water Resistance: Protecting Your Watch from Moisture

Water resistance is not permanent—it naturally decreases over time as seals age.

To maintain optimal protection:

  • Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure
  • Avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater
  • Have water resistance tested whenever the battery is replaced (for quartz models)
  • After exposure to salt water, rinse gently with fresh water and dry thoroughly

⚠️ Important: If the crown is pulled out, water resistance is not guaranteed.

Cleaning Your Watch: Daily Care Matters

Regular cleaning helps maintain both appearance and hygiene.

 

Recommended care:

  • Clean metal cases and bracelets with mild soapy water
  • Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth
  • Remove leather straps before cleaning to avoid moisture damage
  • Wipe the watch regularly to remove sweat, dust, and skin oils

Avoid exposure to:

  • Perfume and hairspray
  • Harsh chemicals or solvents
  • Excessive salt water or humidity

Leather & Strap Care

Marvin leather straps are crafted for comfort and elegance, but require careful handling.
 

To preserve quality:

  • Avoid prolonged contact with water
  • Keep away from direct sunlight for long periods
  • Allow straps to dry naturally if slightly damp
  • Rotate straps when possible to extend lifespan

Leather is a natural material—its texture will evolve over time, adding character to your watch.

Battery & Quartz Movement Care

For quartz models, battery maintenance is essential:

  • Battery life is typically around 2 years
  • Replace batteries promptly when depleted
  • Never leave an empty battery inside the watch
  • Have water resistance checked after battery replacement

Proper maintenance ensures long-term accuracy and reliability.

Mechanical Movement Maintenance

For automatic or mechanical watches:

  • A full professional service is recommended approximately every 4 years
  • Regular servicing helps maintain precision and performance
  • If the watch is not worn regularly, gently wind it to keep the movement active

Precision Swiss movements are designed for longevity—but only with proper care.

Storage: Keeping Your Watch Safe

When not in use:

  • Store in a dry, cool environment
  • Keep in a watch box or soft pouch
  • Avoid magnetic fields and strong vibrations
  • Do not store in humid environments (such as bathrooms)

Final Thought

A Marvin watch is more than a timepiece—it is a reflection of Swiss heritage and craftsmanship. With proper care, it will continue to perform with precision while aging gracefully over time.
