316L & CARE

316L Stainless Steel

OVRHAUL metal bracelets for Apple Watch are crafted from 316L stainless steel, a material valued for its corrosion resistance and widely used in watchmaking and precision metalwork.

While durable by nature, stainless steel is not entirely resistant to corrosion. Prolonged exposure to sweat, salt, and chemicals may affect its surface. Proper cleaning and thorough drying help preserve the finish over time.

01. Daily Care

Cleaning

  1. Detach the bracelet from your Apple Watch before cleaning.
  2. Dilute a small amount of mild soap in lukewarm water.
  3. Wipe the surface with a soft cloth. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean between links and around the clasp.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Remove excess moisture with a microfiber cloth and allow the bracelet to dry completely.

02. Water & Moisture

Exposure

  • After contact with seawater or chlorinated pool water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely.
  • We recommend removing your bracelet before showering or swimming.
  • Do not leave the bracelet damp for extended periods. Store it in a dry environment, away from excessive humidity.

03. Finish & Care

Preserving the Surface

  • Stainless Steel
    Avoid abrasives and metal polishes. Wipe gently to preserve the original brushed grain.
  • Black & Rose Gold Plated Finishes
    Wipe gently with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasives, harsh cleaners, and excessive friction to minimize plating wear.
