The variations in color and texture in our straps are characteristic of tanned leather and over time may darken, fade or change in color. This is an attribute of the leather and not a defect, fault or quality issue.

In order to preserve the beauty of your leather we do recommend treating your leather strap with a leather protector before wear, as this can help leather to resist dirt and moisture.

We also recommend that you keep your leather strap away from intense sunlight, heat, water, humidity, makeup and perfume to prevent any damage or staining.

Walter Bach use the best plating methods available but it is the nature of plating to wear over time especially when it comes into contact with body cream and perfumes. We always recommend removing your watch when it may come into contact with water, perfumes and body creams to help preserve its beauty.

Rose Gold plating by nature is less durable and will fade quicker over time.

Your watch is water resistant to 1 ATM which is 10 metres. Water resistant means splash proof only - it can withstand slight splashes and rain, but is NOT to be immersed in wather.

We do recommend removing your watch before swimming or bathing because leather straps are less resistant when exposed to water frequently.

We strongly advise removing a watch before showering or entering a sauna. This is because extreme heat can cause watch seals to expand and create openings for water droplets to penetrate your watch.

Please note any water damage to your watch is not covered under warranty.

If your watch experiences a sudden change in temperature or pressure, you may notice a condensation appearing under the crystal glass. This generally disappears by itself if left alone.

Please do not attempt to aid this by exposing your watch to heat to dry it out as this may damage the watch and will only cause the condensation to persist.
