Greetings, and welcome to the world of Baume and Mercier. Today I'll be your guide to the proper use, care and service practices for your Baume and Mercier Promesse Moon Phase reference 10347. This 34mm stainless steel ladies timepiece is powered by a Swiss quarts caliber. Its battery can suffice for two to six years, such that once the watch is set very little is necessary to correct the watch, save occasional correction of the moon phase and adjustment of the time for daylight savings. 
 
To adjust the watch take the crown, which is counter sunk into the flank of the case, and withdraw it by turning the crown in a counter clockwise direction. Hours, minutes and moon phases can be cycled in rapid order. Once the watch is set, the crown should be returned for security and for water resistance. The time piece features a 50 meter water resistance rating which is exceptional for the dress watch class, however it's important to note that leather straps are never water resistant and should be withdrawn from use prior to exposure to water, or withheld from water exposure altogether. 
 
The timepiece should be considered water resistant for the purpose of rain and splashes only. The timepiece is not designed for water sports, moreover it's important to note that the crown should always be returned to its flush position, as removing the crown or using its setting functions when there is water on the case can compromise the water resistance of the timepiece and introduce moisture to the interior of the watch to catastrophic cosmetic and mechanical consequence. 
 
It's also important to note that water resistance as rated from the factory is not a static feature of a watch. It is not something that, like mechanical specification, is the same over time. Rather as seals age and lubricants dry, water resistance ebbs. Therefore Baume and Mercier recommends having water resistance checked at an authorized service center minimally every 12 months. Now there are other threats to the watch, most noticeably magnetism, that should be kept in mind. Today magnets are ubiquitous in daily life, they're featured in the closures of purses and wallets, refrigerator doors, high powered wiring rooms, speakers and sub woofers around the home and office. Magnetism with respect to quartz watches can temporarily change the polarity of the stepper motors that move the hand. 
 
With a quartz watch, over time the effects of magnetism will ebb and the watch will return to its ordinary performance. However another hazard, shock, should be kept in mind because its effects are more permanent. Keep the watch disused during high impact activities such as tennis or golf, mountain biking or ATV and motorcycle use, as these shocks can have a severe consequence to the mechanical integrity of the timepiece.
 
Finally, regularly service is necessary for a fine Swiss timepiece. The watch will require a new battery as well as a full service at an authorized service center every two to six years. When having the watch checked every 12 months for water resistance it's good to allow Baume and Mercier authorized service technicians to look over the watch in its entirety to determine whether a complete service, which will include restoration of water resistance, testing of stepper motors, replacement of battery, as well as refinishing of the case, may be necessary.
 
Always remember to service your timepiece exclusively with a Baume and Mercier authorized service center, as these agencies exclusively have the trained personnel, specialized tools and original factory replacement parts to maintain the integrity of your timepiece as an investment and as an instrument. Moreover, only these agencies are able to back all work and parts invested with a Baume and Mercier service factory warranty.
