A Note on Vintage Watch Ownership
Vintage watches, while robust and reliable, may not be as precise as modern quartz timepieces and require periodic servicing. Some gentle wear and natural patina should be expected with an original watch of this age.
Treated with care, a vintage watch will continue to provide enjoyment for many years to come. At TEMPO PRIMA, we believe vintage watches should not be worn in water, regardless of their original specifications. We do not pressure-test vintage watches and therefore cannot guarantee water resistance. To preserve the longevity and integrity of these timepieces, we strongly recommend keeping them dry and avoiding exposure to moisture.
