How to do it

Time
6 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Two drops of mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly – TAG Heuer warns about soap residue in the links – and dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Longines writes that ultrasonic cleaning should only be used on detached bracelets. Dirt in links and clasps comes loose where a brush cannot reach.

Watch out for

  • The watch must never go in the tank
  • Not at the same time as titanium
  • Rinse out the soap properly
