We strongly recommend avoiding salty water or chlorine from swimming pools. Also, avoid bending it in the opposite direction to normal use, or bending it more than the natural curvature of the wrist. Over-exposure to the sun can also cause cracks and deformities on its surface.
Many dyes used in the leather goods industry are fat-soluble, so we do not recommend the use of creams on the surface of leather watch straps. The creams used by the user can pass to the skin and affect the dye. This happens especially in colors that contain red pigment and more in matte finishes than in gloss varnishes.
