Cleaning the case and bracelet</h4>Cleaning prevents the buildup of dust, salt, or residue that could alter the aesthetics or functioning of mobile components (bezel, links).<ul><li data-path-to-node="6,0,0">Routine care: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust from the sapphire crystal and case.</li><li data-path-to-node="6,1,0">Wet cleaning (Steel and Rubber): Use lukewarm soapy water (mild or pH-neutral soap) and a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) to remove impurities from the Bonklip bracelet or links.</li><li data-path-to-node="6,2,0">After sea immersion: Systematically rinse your watch thoroughly with fresh water. Salt is corrosive and can damage gaskets or seize the rotating bezel.</li><li data-path-to-node="6,3,0">Leather straps: Leather is a natural material that must not be submerged.
