WATCH CARE

Skagen suggests the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:
3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water
4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water.
*Do not use soap products?

These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. Soap will leave residue behind when dry

To clean the case and crystal:
Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. *NEVER immerse or soak the case/crystal portion of the watch, regardless of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.

To clean the band or strap:
Metal watchbands
Dip a cotton swab in the above solution, and gently rub it into the soiled portion of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch during this process so as not to soak it. For stubborn soil, you may want to bring it to a jeweler for a professional cleaning.
Rubber watchstraps
Simply wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may dry or crack the plastic.
Leather watchstraps (Top Grain)
Top grain leather can be characterized by its smooth, somewhat shiny appearance. To clean this type of leather, follow the same procedure as with the rubber watchband. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only. You may want to use leather conditioner or a small amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may develop a milky “haze” if left alone for extended periods. This can simply be wiped away or removed with leather conditioner.

Leather watchstraps (nubuck)
This is essentially full grain leather with the top layer shaved off, leaving a flat, smooth finish. A product called a “nubuck eraser” can be found at better shoe repair shops. It will help to remove most light stains and debris from nubuck.

JEWELRY CARE

Skagen suggests the following solutions for cleaning metal surfaces:
3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water
4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water.
*Do not use soap products.

These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces.
Soap will leave residue behind when dry.

SUNGLASSES CARE

Cleaning
Wipe smudges, dust and lint from lenses and frame using the specifically designed micro-fiber soft bag / cloth provided in your Skagen packaging. Using this cloth will ensure that the lenses do not become scratched. Sprays are not suggested as they could cause damage to the lens.

To prevent scratches never clean your sunglasses with a rough fabric such as wool, denim, or tissue paper, as these materials may cause scratches.Watch Care
