FAQs

Is the watch water-resistant?

The Heritage Astoria is a dress watch and should be kept away from water. Avoid submersion in pools or showers to protect the movement and finish.

What is PVD coating?

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It is a process that creates a highly durable, bonded gold-toned layer on the stainless steel, making it more resistant to wear than traditional plating.

Can I replace the bracelet with a leather strap?

While the watch is designed with an integrated 5-link bracelet, you should check with a jeweler to see if the lug width allows for an aftermarket strap, though replacing it may alter the intended aesthetic.

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown out to the first position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the hands reach the correct time, then push the crown back in fully.

Is the sapphire glass really scratch-proof?

Sapphire glass is highly scratch-resistant, though it can still be damaged by impact against hard surfaces like diamonds or specialized masonry tools. It is significantly harder than standard mineral glass.

Does this watch require winding?

No, this is a quartz-powered watch which relies on a battery for energy. It does not require manual winding.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped keeping time

The quartz battery is likely depleted. Take the watch to a certified watchmaker to have the battery replaced.

Bracelet is too loose or tight

This watch features a link bracelet that must be resized by removing links. Do not attempt to force it; consult a professional jeweler.

Surface marks or fingerprints on the case

Gently wipe the gold PVD surfaces with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Heritage Astoria maintains its luster, avoid exposing the gold PVD plating to harsh chemicals, including perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning solvents. To adjust the bracelet, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler who can safely remove links to fit your wrist precisely.

Clean the case and bracelet periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and skin oils. While the watch is durable, it is not recommended for swimming or showering. Store the watch in a cool, dry place, ideally in a watch box, to prevent unnecessary scratches on the gold finish when not in use.
