\u0026amp; MAINTENANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Case Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack zirconia ceramic is one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking — virtually immune to everyday scratches from keys, coins, and hard surfaces. However, ceramic is brittle and can chip or crack when struck sharply by hard edges. Take particular care near hard work surfaces. The black colour runs consistently through the ceramic, meaning minor chips will appear as fractures rather than revealing a contrasting colour underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTextile Strap Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical textile strap can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allowed to air-dry thoroughly. IWC's quick-change strap system requires no tools — simply slide and click to fit alternative straps. A wide range of replacement options in rubber, leather, and textile materials is available from IWC boutiques and authorised retailers, allowing you to easily change the watch's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eService Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIWC recommends a full service every 5 years under normal conditions. Calibre 69380 is an in-house movement and should be serviced by IWC's authorised network or a specialist watchmaker experienced with IWC movements. The flyback mechanism requires careful attention during any service — always use a qualified specialist. Budget approximately £600–£900 for an authorised service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnetic Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IW389101 features an inner soft-iron cage providing strong protection against magnetic fields — a genuine engineering benefit derived from aviation requirements. This protection is entirely passive and requires no maintenance, but be aware that extremely powerful magnets (industrial- or medical-grade) can still affect movement over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSIZING INFORMATION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 44.5mm case suits wrist circumferences from approximately 16.5cm to 21cm (6.5 to 8.3 inches). The black ceramic case and matching textile strap create a visually unified, purposeful look that sits proportionally on medium to large wrists.
