My leather strap is showing signs of wear. Is this normal?
Our luxurious leather straps are treated using the
highest-quality tanning methods. Variations and imperfections are
characteristic of genuine tanned leather products, which may
darken, fade or change in colour and texture over time. This is
evidence of the leather’s purity, not a defect, fault or quality
issue. We consider the natural ageing process as part of the
beauty of materials. In order to preserve your leather,
we recommend treating your strap with a leather protector before
wear to provide resistance against dirt and moisture. Remember to
keep your leather strap away from intense sunlight, heat, water,
humidity, makeup and perfume to prevent any damage or marking.
When it comes to removing small stains, we suggest gently wiping
the leather with a soft, thoroughly wrung cloth and mild soapy
water. Repeat using clean water.
Straps are not covered under warranty, but we do hold limited
stock of replacement straps that are available to purchase. You
should expect to have to replace light-coloured straps around
every 12 months.

The plating on my watch is showing signs of wear. Is there
anything I can do?
Olivia Burton uses the best plating methods available, but it is
the nature of plating to wear over time, especially when it comes
into contact with body creams and perfumes. To keep your watch
looking pristine, we always recommend removing your watch when it
may come into contact with water, perfumes and body creams.
Please note: Rose-gold plating is, by nature, less durable and
will fade quicker over time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is my watch waterproof?
Your watch has a water-resistant rating of 1ATM or 10m (1 Bar),
making it suitable for everyday use and resistant to modest
water/rain splashes.
To prolong your watch’s lifespan, we always recommend removing it
before swimming, showering and bathing.
It’s also vital to take off your watch before entering a steam
room or a sauna. Extreme heat can cause watch seals to expand and
create openings for water droplets to penetrate inside the
design.
Please note: any water damage to your watch is not covered under
warranty.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
How long should my battery last?
The average battery life is 12 months. All watches come with a
battery saver in the crown that needs to be removed to activate
the battery. To start the battery, remove the plastic tab and
press the crown into the side of the case. If your watch has
stopped working, it's likely the battery needs replacing. Any
local independent jeweller will be able replace your battery.
We offer a chargeable battery replacement service. Please contact
our Customer Care team for more details.
Please kindly note that battery replacements are not covered
under warranty.
