Watches

Davidoff watches are manufactured in accordance with rigorous quality criteria and are undergoing stringent checks throughout their production. We follow uncompromising technical standards that merit the highest label of the watchmaking sector: “Swiss Made”.

Each Davidoff watch bears an individual identification number.

Whenever you need to ship your watch, please pack it very carefully, insure it and enclose the stamped original purchase invoice with it.

Servicing the timepiece

Like any mechanical tool, your watch is subject to wear. Its servicing is therefore very important and is chiefly aimed at its protection against humidity and dust.

The following precautions must be taken:

• The crown of your watch should not be adjusted in water.

• Do not use corrosive products for cleaning your watch.

• Carefully rinse your watch and its metal bracelet in fresh water and clean them with a soft brush and liquid soap.

• After bathing in the sea, rinse your watch in fresh water.

Your timepiece is a quartz mechanism of great precision. If worn regularly, it will be used in extreme conditions (cold, heat, humidity, impacts, etc.). We, therefore, advise you to entrust your watch to an official agent or a watchmaker approved by Davidoff every two or three years. They will perform the appropriate checks, cleaning operations and battery exchange.

Using the timepiece

Setting the time:

Pull the crown out to position C. Turn the hands clockwise to the desired time and then, in synchronization with a time signal or a repeater, push the crown back to position A.

Setting the date:

This function enables you to set the correct date on your watch by using the crown.

Pull the crown out to position B then turn it to the date wanted. Push the crown back to position A. Avoid performing this operation between 10.00 pm and 3.00 am, when the date change mechanism is being activated. The date display must be manually corrected for all months that vary to those with 31 days.

Chronographs

Note on old appliances and disposal of batteries

The disposal of DAVIDOFF quartz watches with household waste is prohibited by law. Kindly return your old DAVIDOFF quartz watch at a municipal collection point free of charge for private households.

Waste batteries of your DAVIDOFF quartz watch must not be disposed of with household waste. You are under a legal obligation to return used batteries. After use, please return the waste batteries free of cost to the seller or at any disposal point (e.g. at a municipal collection point or in trade on site).

The symbol of a crossed dustbin informs the consumer that old appliances and waste batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries, the chemical symbol of any hazardous substances contained is listed under the dustbin symbol. The abbreviations used have the following meaning:

Writing Instruments

Whenever you need to ship your writing instrument, please pack it very carefully, insure it and enclose the stamped original purchase invoice with it.

Using your writing instrument

Rollerball:

Always replace the cap to avoid any drying when the pen is not in use.

Ballpoint pen:

Turn the “nose” of the ballpoint pen to the right for writing, and to the left to protect the refill (ball-point in upside down position).

In case the mechanism should not work properly do not use any strength to turn it in order to avoid additional damages. Gently open it (unwinding it towards the opposite side) and carefully examine if any dirt (e.g. dust) is blocking the winding system. If yes, gently clean the parts with a dry microfiber cloth and re-wind the body of the writing instrument.

Storage instructions

Davidoff accessories should be stored in a dry and clean environment, away from direct sunlight. We recommend using the box or pouch provided with your product(s) to keep them separated from other items and prevent scratches.

If you do not plan to use your writing instrument for an extended period of time, we recommend removing the refill, particularly for the rollerballs.

Cleaning instructions

Clean your accessories by gently wiping with a soft, cotton cloth to remove any dirt and oils (from skin). In case of heavy soiling or where dirt has built up in crevices, gently rub with a lint-free cloth that has been soaked in warm soapy water. Use a dry cotton or microfiber cloth and gently rub the surface to re-polish your accessory.

Attention: Problems may occur to the internal mechanisms should the instrument be dropped or fall from a distance. This can also result in dents or damages to the lacquered parts.

Leather

No material compares to leather. This natural material is a perfect match for strength, durability, and authenticity. Our leather goods combine premium grade calfskin with precisely crafted stitching and seam to create refined and durable products.

Your Davidoff leather item will not only resist time; it will improve with it. Designed to be your companion in every situation, it will be shaped by your personal experiences and evolve into a unique piece rich in memories and personal stories.

Please carefully read the following instructions concerning the use and maintenance of your leather item.

General care recommendations

Leather is a natural product, and thus requires care and attention over time. Small irregularities impart individuality and reflect the authenticity of the material without in any way detracting from the quality. Although deep scratches cannot be removed, all other marks can be cleaned using a damp cloth and then polished dry to remove any excessive moisture.

We do not recommend using any product containing solvents or alcohol on the leather or other material.

For daily care, and to remove crumbs and dust, it is enough to smoothly wipe the surface of the leather with a very slightly damp genuine chamois leather or lint-free cotton cloth. We do not recommend any weekly or monthly maintenance, unless:

• If your leather is dirty – ONLY in case of need, use a lint-free cloth to apply a suitable leather soap (natural, e.g. Marseille soap). Fully soak the cloth, wring it out and wipe the surface of the leather without applying any pressure.

• If your leather is wet – Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process, dry it slowly at room temperature to avoid distortions of the material. If water drops are present on the surface of the leather, carefully pat them away with a lint-free cotton cloth.

• If your leather is dry (cracked) – Please note that steady and gratuitous rehydration will destroy the leather or significantly degrade its properties. If the leather appears hard and brittle, you can treat it carefully using a high-quality colorless natural cream that is recommended for the purpose. Always try it on a hidden part of your product first and remember to take into consideration a reaction time of one to two days.

When not in use, leather items should be stored in their original pouch. We also do not recommend overfilling leather items as this can distort the shape, strain the zips and locks or risk excessive stress on the seams. It is also advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which could affect the texture and color of the leather.

The leather of the VENICE collection has been treated with a special wax. If accidentally rubbed the surface may get marks. These disappear immediately with light circular movements of your fingertip with a dry microfiber cloth.

Belts

All belts are handcrafted in Italy using plain or embossed Italian leather. This natural material is the perfect choice for strength, durability, and authenticity. Our leather goods combine premium grade calfskin with precisely crafted stitching and seam to create refined and durable products.

Your Davidoff leather item will not only resist time; it will improve with it. Designed to be your companion in every situation, it will be shaped by your personal experiences and evolve into a unique piece rich in memories and personal stories.

General care recommendations

Leather is a natural product, and thus requires care and attention over time. Small irregularities impart individuality and reflect the authenticity of the material without in any way detracting from its quality. Although deep scratches cannot be removed, all other marks can be  cleaned using a moisturizer for leather products with a damp cloth and then carefully polish dry to remove any excessive moisture. We do not recommend using any product containing solvents or alcohol on the leather or other material. For daily care, and to remove dust, it is enough to smoothly wipe the surface of the leather with a very slightly damp genuine chamois leather or lint-free cotton cloth.

When not in use, leather items should be stored in their original pouch. It is also advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which could affect the texture and color of the leather.

When you have found the right adjustment, please avoid reopening the clasp to avoid damage to the leather.

Bracelets

Being a handmade product, any imperfections and nuances of the leather are to be considered as a guarantee of a quality product. Given the nature of the leather, the product is not washable and may change over time. This is why it is important to:

1. Avoid direct contact with chemicals: solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, etc. could damage the leather and metal parts
2. Avoid contact with water, use in the pool, sea or shower.
3. Avoid prolonged contact with heat sources.
4. Avoid bumping the bracelet, the leather and metal parts may be damaged.
5. We recommend keeping the bracelets in the original packaging or in a cloth bag.
6. In case of intense sweating it is advisable not to wear the product.

Cufflinks and other accessories

Please carefully read the following instructions concerning the use and maintenance of your accessory.

Storage instructions

Davidoff accessories should be stored in a dry and clean environment, away from direct sunlight. We recommend using the box or pouch provided with your product(s) to keep them separated from other items and to prevent scratches.

Cleaning instructions

Clean your accessories by gently wiping with a soft, cotton cloth to remove any dirt and oils (from skin). In case of heavy soiling or where dirt has built up in crevices, gently rub with a lint-free cloth that has been soaked in warm soapy water. Use a dry cotton or microfiber cloth and gently rub the surface to restore the luster of your accessory.

We recommend that you handle your products with clean hands as precious plating may tarnish if repeatedly put into contact with creams, chlorine, acidic skin or aftershave. Regular polishing with a soft cotton cloth will keep your plated metals shiny.

Stones and synthetic applications

All our stones and synthetic applications can be safely cleaned by wiping with a soft cotton cloth. To keep your accessories in the best condition, please ensure they are completely dry before storing and avoid your product making sharp contact with other objects.

For ease of use and to avoid any damage to your shirt and/or cufflinks, please make sure that the bascule of the whale back closure is in its fully opened position. Once in place, turn the bascule back to the perpendicular in order to close and secure its position.
