Are Vitae London watches water resistant?

The materials we use allows a water resistance of up to 5ATM

What does 5atm mean?

ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. A 5ATM watch will withstand pressures equivalent to depth of 50 meters, or 165ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth.

5ATM is suitable for rain, splashing and showering but not diving, snorkelling or water sports.

How to clean my strap?

If you want to clean your leather wristband, we advise you go to your local watchmaker who may have cleaning products specifically made for leather. If you wish to clean your strap yourself we would recommend you consult a watch maker to be sure that you do it correctly without compromising the integrity of leather.

Will the strap fit my wrist?

Our straps are adjustable and designed to fit most wrist sizes. Use the adjustment holes to match your comfort.
