Care
Looking afteryour strap.
A little care keeps a textile strap looking considered for longer.
01
Everyday wear
- Keep dry when possible. Treat a printed fabric strap as a textile accessory, not a waterproof strap.
- Remove it before swimming, showering, washing up or exercise that causes heavy sweating.
- If it gets wet, blot gently and let it dry flat at room temperature — never on a radiator or in direct sun.
02
Cleaning
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
- For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dab rather than rub. Lighter grounds show marks more readily.
- Do not machine wash, bleach or use solvents. Product-specific instructions take priority.
03
Storage
- Store flat or loosely coiled, away from direct sunlight, to protect printed colours.
- Keep away from sharp objects that could snag the stitching.
04
Changing straps safely
- Work over a soft cloth on a table.
- Use a proper spring-bar tool, or the lever on quick-release bars.
- Check that both spring-bar tips are fully seated in the lug holes before wearing — give the strap a gentle tug.
- For valuable watches, consider asking a watchmaker.
