TWO DEDICATED WORKSHOPS WORLDWIDE
You own a MARCH LA.B timepiece crafted in France by highly skilled master watchmakers who strictly uphold the principles of French watchmaking culture: quality, technical excellence, reliability, and precision.
To ensure the best turnaround times and a service approved by MARCH LA.B watchmakers, we handle your servicing needs through two dedicated workshops. All maintenance and service operations carried out in our workshops are covered by a one-year warranty.
MARCH LA.B workshops are located in Besançon (France) and in Maryland (United States).
2-YEAR INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
All MARCH LA.B watches are covered by our international warranty for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase.
A copy of your duly completed MARCH LA.B international warranty card will be required as proof of purchase.
The warranty does not cover the following:
Defects resulting from accidents or improper use.
Any handling or repairs carried out by a non-authorized service provider.
Leather straps.
The effects of normal wear and aging of the watch.
Theft or loss.
AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS
PROPER USE:
Please avoid changing the date between 11:30 PM and 2:00 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
To restart the movement once the power reserve is depleted, remember to wind the watch by turning the crown approximately twenty times clockwise.
MAINTENANCE:
To maintain optimal accuracy and a full power reserve, we recommend servicing your automatic watch every 5 years. This service includes complete disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and lubrication of the movement, as well as accuracy and water-resistance checks.
ELECTRIC MOVEMENTS
In the MARCH LA.B lexicon, “Electric” watches refer to timepieces equipped with a quartz movement.
Our watches are powered by Swiss RONDA 517 quartz calibers, renowned for their precision and reliability. They feature a long-life power system, offering an average battery life of approximately 45 months. About two weeks before the battery reaches the end of its life, an indicator causes the seconds hand to jump every four seconds, signaling that a battery replacement is required.
MAINTENANCE:
Unlike automatic movements, quartz movements do not require specific servicing, other than battery replacement.
WATER RESISTANCE
A watch is water-resistant thanks to its gaskets, which are exposed to various external factors (dust, perspiration, temperature changes, etc.). As a result, a watch’s water resistance has a limited lifespan. Each time a watch is opened, for any reason whatsoever, it must undergo a water-resistance test along with gasket replacement.
Our Surf watches and AM2 / AM2 Slim automatic models are fitted with a screw-down crown.
The BELZA, with its solid caseback, is water-resistant to 20 ATM / 200 meters.
The BONZER, AM2, and AM2 Slim automatic models are recommended for 10 ATM / 100 meters.
PROPER USE:
The crown should never be operated under water. For Surf watches equipped with a screw-down crown, please ensure that it is properly screwed down before immersion.
After each swim, rinse your MARCH LA.B watch to prevent damage from external elements (chlorine, salt, etc.) and to ensure smooth, long-lasting rotation of the bezel. To ensure optimal performance, avoid exposing your watch to sudden and extreme temperature changes (such as stepping out of a hot shower), which could cause condensation inside the case.
