ESQ MOVADO WATCHES Powered by Movado, ESQ Movado explores the breadth of today’s modern design. The name Movado is synonymous with modern design. With a signature brand look defined by unique design elements, ESQ Movado watches offer a fresh perspective on modern design – one that breaks the rules, and embraces the details.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Like any finely crafted mechanism, your ESQ Movado watch requires periodic maintenance for optimal performance. Maintenance includes complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of parts as needed, 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. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to an ESQ Movado Authorized Service Center.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or subjected to wet conditions. Please see Strap Care. Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations. Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every violent shock. Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after exposure to seawater.
