ESQ BY MOVADO WA CHES
The finest watches in the world are made in
Switzerland, where time-keeping technology
was developed and perfected, and where
watchmaking techniques grew into an art.
Manufactured by Movado and crafted to the
highest standards of Swiss quality and
design, water-resistant ESQ by Movado
watches feature precise Swiss-engineered
movements, scratch-resistant sapphire or
mineral crystals and exceptional details usu-
ally reserved for timepieces costing far
more.
Congratulations on your ESQ by Movado
watch purchase.
Shock
All ESQ by Movado watches have shock-
resistant movements, and are tested to
meet international standards for shock
resistance.
Magnetism
The exposure of your ESQ by Movado quartz
watch to a strong magnetic field will affect
its time-keeping and may cause it to stop.
However, it should resume working with
original accuracy when removed from the
magnetic field.
Leather Straps
ESQ by Movado watch straps are fashioned
from high quality natural and embossed
leathers. While the life-span of a leather
watch strap will depend on your care, wear-
ing habits, and the climate in which you live,
proper care will extend it.
Keep your leather watch strap dry. Exposure
to water may cause a strap to become brittle

CARE AND MAIN ENANCE
Like any finely crafted mechanism, your
ESQ by Movado watch requires periodic
maintenance for optimal performance.
Maintenance includes complete disassem-
bly, cleaning, reassembly and lubrication of
the movement. A maintenance interval of 3
to 5 years is recommended, in addition to
any required battery replacement.
Never open the watch yourself: dust or mois-
ture could enter the case and affect the func-
tioning of the movement. If your watch needs
repair or adjustment, return it directly to ESQ
by Movado or one of its authorized service
centers. See the back pages of this booklet
or visit www.esqbymovado.com for a
complete list.
NOTE: ESQ by Movado assumes responsibility
only for service performed at its Authorized
Service Centers.

Your ESQ by Movado watch is fitted with a
series of gaskets and a specially designed
crown which seal the watch and prevent
moisture from entering the case. Because
the gaskets and crown are subject to wear
and deterioration under normal use, these
parts should be inspected, and replaced as
needed, each time the watch is opened for
service, including battery changes.
The case must also be tested with specialized
equipment to insure that the proper seal has
been reestablished. We recommend that you
take or send the watch to an ESQ by Movado
Authorized Service Center to have this rou-
tine, periodic maintenance performed. See
the end of this booklet for a complete list.
CAUTION: Manufacturer will not be responsi-
ble for any damage caused by or related to
leakage which originated from improper han-
dling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets
or crystal.
and eventually break.
To preserve the finish of the leather, contact
with perfumes should be avoided.
NOTE: ESQ by Movado watch straps are not
covered by the ESQ by Movado watch warranty.
Water Resistance
All ESQ by Movado watches are tested to meet
international standards for water resistance.
Most models are water resistant to 3 ATM, so
faucet spray or rain won’t hurt them as long as
the case, crown and crystal remain intact.
Certain sport models are water resistant to
even greater depths, as indicated on their dials.
You may wear models that are water resistant
to 5 ATM while showering, swimming or
snorkeling. Equipped with screw-down crowns,
ESQ by Movado sport watches that are water
resistant to 30 ATM may be worn while
snorkeling or shallow water scuba diving, but
not for deep sea diving.

BA ERY INFORMA ION
Your ESQ by Movado watch has a 1.55 volt
silver oxide watch battery that will last
approximately 24 to 36 months. It is important
to use only the replacement battery recom-
mended by ESQ by Movado. Many so-called
“interchangeable” batteries may not work
properly in your watch or might damage it.
End-of-life Feature
The seconds hand on some ESQ by Movado
watches will start to advance haltingly in
4-second increments when the battery is
almost exhausted, signaling the need to
replace it within a week or two. Do not
attempt to change the battery yourself. Take
or send your watch to an ESQ by Movado
Authorized Service Center. See the end of
this booklet, or visit www.esqbymovado.com
for a complete listing.

To manually wind an automatic
movement:
The motion of your arm during normal daily
activities should be sufficient to keep the
movement of your automatic timepiece
wound. However, if you have not worn your
watch for several days, and the movement
has stopped, you will need to wind it by
hand before resetting the time:
1. With crown in position 1, flush against the
case, turn crown clockwise, completing
approximately 20 revolutions.
2. Reset time and date following instructions
above.
3. Push crown back in to position 1, flush
against case.
