Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new
nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created
equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of
that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not
hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is
for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we
here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Sapphire or Hardened Mineral Watch Crystal with
DiamondFX® Coating
SAPPHIRE: Some of our timepieces are fitted with sapphire crystals. Our sapphire is cut from
a polished portion of solid sapphire. Sapphire is measured in hardness at nine (9) on the Mohs
scale. It is so hard that only a diamond which measures ten (10) on the Mohs scale can scratch it.
MINERAL CRYSTAL: Some of our timepieces utilize high quality hardened mineral crystals and
most are coated on the surface with our sapphire/diamond coating called, Diamondfx®, and are
AR (anti-reflective) coated on the underside. It is made of a material that has an index of refraction
that is somewhere between air and glass, minimizing glare.
COATINGS: Usually the undersurface of the sapphire and mineral crystals are coated with
proprietary aerospace technology that helps block the sun’s UVA, UVB, and UVC rays; reducing
watch dial degradation.
Please do not open caseback or have it repaired by
any unauthorized WatchStar® dealer as it will void the
warranty.

Sapphire or Hardened Mineral Watch Crystal with
DiamondFX® Coating
CARE FOR YOUR WATCH CRYSTAL: Wipe the crystal with a fine micro-fiber cloth. Although the
mineral watch crystal is considered impervious to most abrasions it can be scratched by very hard
minerals such as a diamond or diamond treated substances, e.g. filing emery board or jewelry.
In the event there is a mishap, e.g., condiment, tea, or non-abrasive liquid, use a lightly waterdampened, non-abrasive cloth to wipe off most impurities and finish with a dry micro-fiber cloth.
(Do not use soap).
WARNING: Diamonds, diamond jewelry, emery boards can cause damage to your sapphire
crystal. Please take extra care when these materials are present.
If you purchased one of our timepieces with a quartz
movement and it is not working: Please note that
there is a plastic insert between the crown and stem.
Remove the plastic and push the crown back to the
Normal position to activate the timepiece.
Water and Shock Resistant
The WatchStar® timepieces are water resistant to one of these bars: 3 ATM = 30m/100ft, 5 ATM =
50m/165 ft, 10 ATM = 100m /330 ft, 15ATM = 150m/500 ft, and 20 ATM= 300m/660 ft. Please refer
to your individual timepiece caseback for the exact water resistance.
3 ATM, Thirty (30) meters or one-hundred-feet (100 ft), means your timepiece will not withstand
swimming or bathing. It can withstand quick contact with water, e.g. a rain shower or a brief exposure to water.
5 ATM, Fifty (50) meters or one-hundred-sixty-five-feet (165 ft), means do not wear the timepiece
while bathing, snorkeling or scuba diving. It would withstand resistance to swimming in shallow
water but no thrashing in the water as it puts extreme pressure on the seals in the timepiece.
10 ATM, One-hundred (100) meters or three-hundred-thirty-feet (330 ft), means that you can wear
the timepiece around water, One-hundred (100) meters is the recommended water testing for
boating, sailing, lap swimming, snorkeling, and shallow scuba diving, but no more than fifty-feet
(50) feet and not for an extended period of time.
15 ATM, One-hundred-fifty (150) meters or five-hundred feet (500 ft), means you can wear the
timepiece while playing swimming or pool diving, snorkeling and scuba diving.
20 ATM, Two-Hundred (200) meters or six-hundred-sixty feet (660 ft), means you can wear the
timepiece while bathing, swimming, snorkeling, or deep water dives.

Water and Shock ResistaNT (continued)
WARNING: To maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons or pull out the crown under
water.
SALT WATER: Rinse complete watch with fresh water after exposure to salt.
NO HOT TUB OR SAUNA. Please do not take your WatchStar® timepiece into the hot tub or sauna. The combination of extreme heat and water may cause your watch to lose its water resistance.
NO HOT SHOWER. Please do not wear your watch in the shower. The combination of extreme
heat and water may cause your watch to lose its water resistance.
NO MAGNETIC FIELDS. Please do not place your timepiece on electronic units like speakers or
a refrigerator since they have strong magnetic fields.
Shock Resistance. Our watches are designed to pass shock-resistance tests. However, care
should be taken to avoid damaging the watches sapphire or mineral crystal.
No cleaning chemicals should be used on the timepiece or the sapphire and/or mineral crystal as
they could cause damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where can I find additional information for my timepiece? We maintain all of our current
models’ instructions on our website at www.watchstar.com. If you have additional questions
please contact our Customer Care Center at 410.884.4444.
2. How should I care for my timepiece’s case and bracelet? Stainless-steel cases and
bracelets can be rinsed off in water, but don’t use any abrasive soap and only dry with a soft
or micro-fiber cloth. Do not push or activate any pushers on the watchcase or pull out the
crown during this operation. To obtain additional information please refer to the Water and
Shock Resistance guide listed in this booklet.
3. Should I provide any special care for my timepiece? Your timepiece is a precious measuring
instrument. Any timepiece you choose to wear should be appropriate for the physical activity
you intend to do while wearing the watch. We recommend avoiding all unnecessary shocks or
hard knocks, e.g. dropping your timepiece on a hard surface, which may damage the interior
parts. Try to avoid leaving your timepiece in extreme cold or hot places, e.g. in the glove box
or on the dash of your vehicle in direct sunlight.
4. Do automatic movements need winding? Automatic watches are mechanical and the
energy is stored in the mainspring, so when its energy runs low so does the movement’s
accuracy. If you stopped wearing your timepiece for 24 hours or longer you should wind it
by hand before you put it back on your wrist. If you notice the seconds hand is running, wind
the crown clockwise about twenty times but stop if you feel resistance. Most watches have a
clutch to keep from over-winding but if you feel resistance stop winding or you could damage
53
Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
your timepiece. If your timepiece has completely stopped, you need to wind the timepiece
about thirty-eight times, because shaking or moving the rotor will not be sufficient.
5. Is my timepiece a limited edition? Turn your timepiece over and look at the caseback.
Examine the caseback for the lettering, “Limited Edition” and/or an engraving with a number,
e.g. 000/500. If shown, your timepiece is a limited edition.
6. What is DNA metal? Within our luxury brand is a collection that amalgamates authentic
and historic metal and/or materials into or onto our timepieces. Timepieces containing this
“DNA” material are authenticated, verified and certified. A certificate of authenticity (COA)
accompanies each timepiece.
7. What is Ion Plating (IP)? Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) that is one
of the most advanced surface finishing processes ever developed. Our PVD timepieces are
bombarded by atoms which are accelerated by a magnetic field in a vacuum environment.
Experiments prove plating obtained through ion plating is five to eight times more durable
than traditional methods in terms of wear and corrosion resistance.
8. What is Platinum Plating? Platinum is considered one of the most precious metals. In
nature it is found as part of the Platinum Group Metals, e.g., palladium and rhodium. Platinum
electroplated coatings range from 0.5 to 5 microns. Usually it is applied with a rack fixture that
is submerged in a chloroplatinic acid or a sulfate base platinum solution. Platinum plating will
not tarnish or oxidize and is classified as hypoallergenic.

model based on GIA data for assessing and predicting the cut quality in round brilliant cut
diamonds confirms that the Round Pure Brilliance Cut Zirconia offers the same brightness as
a Tolkowsky Diamond.

The exact symmetry and proportions of the cuts maximize brilliance and place Swarovski
Zirconia in a class of its own. In the first part of the Pure Brilliance concept, an entirely new
dimension of brilliance was achieved by applying ideal diamond cut standards to the Round
Pure Brilliance Zirconia for the very first time, strictly adhering to the exacting standards of the
Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for grading diamond cut quality.
12. What does RG 18k mean? Rolled Gold (RG) is a fusion process and is not plating. A sheet of
base metal is covered with thin layers of gold and then heat fused together. "18k RG" means
there is an 18k layer that has been fused to a base metal.
When you wind your timepiece, whether mechanical
or automatic, do it off your wrist. This keeps extra
pressure off the crown caused when you push the
watch up off your wrist.
