Box

Each Model 136 is supplied in its own rugged travel case, incorporating a hard crush-proof ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) textured outer shell, with a soft shock absorbent foam liner.
Includes signed guarantee card with guarantee information, inspection record, and digital operation instructions.
Also in the box you will find a small glass vial filled with some of the machining swarf from the production of your actual watch, which makes for a unique memento, emphasising the craftsmanship and in-house manufacturing process behind your watch.

Care Notes

While the material used for the case is tough and strong, it can pick up scratches and dents with use. We believe that the material chosen offers excellent properties of strength while remaining lightweight and comfortable to wear. Case polishing wool (available on the accessories page of the website) can be used to remove light scratches. We build our watches to be worn and enjoyed, and believe that every scratch tells a story!
Acrylic crystals are incredibly strong and shatter resistant. However, they can pick up scratches with use. It is relatively easy to polish out scratches using Polywatch (available on the accessories page of the website) and a soft cloth, if you wish.
Every watch is vacuum leak tested to -760mm of mercury, which is equivalent to 1 bar, or 10 meters (33 feet) of water pressure resistance. This level of test is suitable for exposure to handwashing and rain, but we do not guarantee or recommend full submersion i.e. swimming.
