How to do it

3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Take the watch off. Lay the bracelet flat, run 3 minutes, then rinse and dry the links and clasp.

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

Titanium handles ultrasonic cleaning and is cleaned that way in healthcare. Manufacturers say that titanium and steel should not be run in the same batch. A brushed surface can get small shiny spots if links rub.

Watch out for

  • The watch must never go in the tank
  • Not at the same time as steel
  • Coated (black) titanium bracelets: check with the manufacturer
