Tips for caring for your bracelet
Cleaning and maintenance
To keep your Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms Green Abyss rubber or leather strap in good condition, regular care is essential. For rubber straps, clean them with warm water and mild soap, using a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and sweat, especially around the fasteners and under the buckle. Rinse well with clean water to avoid soap residue.
For leather straps, wipe them lightly with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.
Do not leave your strap exposed to abrasive products, prolonged water, or excessive humidity, as this can accelerate its wear. It is also advisable to remove the watch from time to time to allow the strap to breathe and prevent odors.
When to replace your bracelet
Replacing a strap depends on its condition and comfort. For a black rubber strap , watch for cracks, deformation, or loosening of the fasteners. These signs indicate that the material has lost its flexibility and strength, and it's time to replace it to ensure safety and aesthetics.
For leather straps , visible wear such as cracks, discolored leather, or a persistent odor despite cleaning means it needs to be replaced. Opting for a new brown or black calfskin strap allows you to regain an elegant look while improving comfort.
By taking care of your strap and replacing it at the right time, you extend the life of your Green Abyss while keeping it looking pristine.
