Cleaning Your Skagen Watch
Skagen proposes 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, disregarding of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.
To clean the band or strap:
Skagen soft mesh bands are effortlessly adjustable. Simply insert a little screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin all over the clasp and move to desired position. Snap closed securely. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the band. Link bands are exclusively adaptable anyplace watches are serviced.
Skagen proposes the following exercises for cleaning metal, rubber and leather surfaces:
Metal watchbands
Dip a cotton swab in the above solution, and gently rub it into the soiled share 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 for the duration of this routine so as not to soak it. For stubborn soil, you may want to fetch 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 arid or crack the plastic.
Leather watchstraps: Top Grain
Top grain leather may be characterized by it is smooth, somewhat shiny appearance. To clean this type of leather, follow the same routine 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 little amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may formulate a milky “haze” if left alone for extended periods. This may merely be wiped away or got rid of with leather conditioner.
Leather watchstraps: Nubuck
This is fundamentally full grain leather with the top layer shaved off, leaving a flat, smooth finish. A product called a “nubuck eraser” may be found at better shoe fix shops. It will aid to remove most light stains and debris from nubuck.
