When not being worn, store the watch in a flat position away from direct sunlight, moisture and other jewellery that could scratch the case or crystal.

Fully wound, your watch will run for approximately 38 hours without being worn or wound further. If it has been left unworn for longer than this, be sure to manually wind your watch and reset the time before wearing.

Your watch is rated to 100m (10 atm). This covers everyday conditions such as rain, hand washing and swimming, but not diving or high-pressure water activities. To ensure your timepiece remains watertight:

• Always ensure the crown is screwed fully before any exposure to water.
• Never operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid hot water, including showers and hot tubs – high temperatures can degrade the case seals over time.
• Have the case seals checked at each service as they can lose elasticity with age, regardless of use.

Because the crown is a screw-down design, it must be fully screwed down to seal the case. Always confirm it is tightened before contact with water.

Gibeon meteorite is composed of iron-nickel alloy, which in its raw state can oxidise if left exposed to moisture. To combat this, the dial of your watch has been carefully sealed before assembly to protect it against daily wear. To minimise the chances of moisture ingress:

• Clean the crystal and case with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
• Avoid using solvents, alcohol wipes or household cleaning chemicals on the crystal or case.
• If your watch will not be worn for extended periods, be sure to store it somewhere dry.

• Keep your Terra away from sources of strong magnetic fields, including laptop speakers, induction chargers and phone cases with magnetic clasps. 
• Remove the watch before high-impact activities. Strong knocks can jar the movement, which may affect timekeeping accuracy and/or damage the balance.
• Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as they can negatively impact lubricant and lume performance over time.
• Have the movement serviced every five years. This should include lubrication renewal, a timekeeping check and case seal refreshment/replacement to ensure your watch will run accurately until its next service.

Your watch is covered by a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects. This does not cover regular wear and tear or damage caused by misuse or accident.
