FAQs
What does '50 meters water resistance' mean?
A 50-meter water resistance rating means the watch is suitable for everyday use, showering, and swimming in shallow water. It is resistant to splashes, rain, and brief immersion. However, it is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is securely screwed down before any water exposure.
How durable is the sapphire crystal?
Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, second only to diamond in hardness. This means it offers excellent protection against daily wear and tear, maintaining a clear and legible display for a long time. While extremely durable, it is not entirely indestructible and can chip or break under severe impact.
How do I care for the two-tone finish?
To maintain the luster of the gold-tone and silver-tone finishes, wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the plating. Gentle cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and immediate drying is recommended for stainless steel parts.
What type of movement does the watch use?
The Versace Hellenium-Vk VEVK00620 uses a Swiss Quartz movement. This type of movement is known for its exceptional accuracy, reliability, and low maintenance, powered by a battery.
Can I replace the battery myself?
It is strongly recommended that battery replacements be performed by an authorized Versace service center or a certified watchmaker. This ensures that the watch's water resistance seals are properly reinstalled and the delicate internal components are handled correctly, preserving your warranty and the watch's integrity.
Is the watch suitable for formal occasions?
Absolutely. The watch's opulent two-tone design, classic aesthetic, and luxurious brand pedigree make it an excellent choice for formal occasions, business attire, and elegant events. Its versatile style ensures it complements a wide range of sophisticated looks.
Troubleshooting
Watch not keeping accurate time or has stopped.
Check if the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down. If the watch has stopped, the battery might need replacement. Consult an authorized service center for battery replacement to maintain water resistance and ensure proper care of the Swiss Quartz movement.
Condensation observed under the sapphire crystal.
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and take the watch immediately to an authorized Versace service center for inspection and resealing to prevent internal damage.
Bracelet feels loose or too tight.
The stainless steel bracelet is adjustable. For optimal comfort and fit, visit a qualified jeweler or authorized service center to have links professionally added or removed. Avoid attempting this yourself to prevent damage to the bracelet.

Set Time (Second Click): Pull the crown out to the second position (if applicable, otherwise the first position after unscrewing). Turn the crown to move the hands and set the correct time.
