The watch
ELYSEE Heritage
The Heritage combines ELYSEE design language since 1960 with a reliable mechanical automatic movement. Sapphire crystal, a fluted bezel and a 40 mm stainless steel case define its presence.
The Seiko TMI NH35 automatic caliber winds itself while being worn and can also be wound by hand when needed.

Functions
First steps
A mechanical automatic watch should be wound before first wear. Unscrew the screw-down crown counterclockwise and turn it clockwise several times until the seconds hand starts moving.
While worn, the mainspring is then wound automatically by movement on the wrist.

Care
Caring for your ELYSEE.
Never pull or turn the crown while the watch is wet and always keep it firmly screwed down. This is essential for water resistance.
Do not hold the watch under running tap water and do not wear it in a sauna or hot bath. After contact with salt water, rinse it with clear fresh water.
Keep it away from strong magnetic fields and maintain at least 5 cm distance from speakers, tablet covers and magnetic clasps.
10 ATM water resistanceSuitable for swimming and snorkeling. Not suitable for scuba diving.
Detail in focus
The impossible becomes possible
THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN TIME IS NOT MEASURED BUT EXPERIENCED. THE HERITAGE ACCOMPANIES YOU FROM THE FIRST MORNING LIGHT TO THE HOURS THAT LAST LONGER THAN PLANNED. ON THE WRIST IT FEELS FAMILIAR AND AWAKENS THE DESIRE TO SET OUT AGAIN. A WATCH FOR MEMORIES STILL WAITING TO BE MADE.
Clear at a glance.
The structured dial combines clear contrast with precisely placed indices. Every line is designed to make the time quick and effortless to read.
Monobloc case
Milled from a solid block.
The Heritage case body is precisely milled from a solid block of 316L stainless steel. This creates the case body and lugs as a single, contiguous monobloc form. Polished and brushed surfaces highlight the milled contours.

Super-LumiNova® BGW9
Readable when it gets dark.
Hands and indexes coated with Super-LumiNova® BGW9 charge up in daylight or artificial light. If the ambient light diminishes, the time remains clearly visible.
Mechanics inside
A movement that lives with you.
The Seiko TMI NH35 winds itself through movement on the wrist. No battery, no daily ritual: its robust mechanics are made for everyday use and can also be wound by hand when needed.

Steady beat
Six half-oscillations per second give the second hand its mechanical character.
Hacking seconds
Precise setting
When the crown is pulled out, the second hand stops, allowing the watch to be set precisely.
24 jewels
Reduced friction
Synthetic jewels reduce friction at stressed points in the movement for long-term durability.
FKM fluoro-rubber
Strong in everyday use.
FKM fluoro-rubber feels comfortable, keeps its shape and resists sweat, UV light and many everyday substances significantly better than conventional silicone.
Strap
FKM fluoroelastomer strap with quick release
200 °C+
Dimensionally stable in heat.
Depending on the compound, FKM remains dimensionally stable even at temperatures exceeding 200 °C.
Everyday use
Resistant to more.
Sweat, sunscreen, oils, and cleaning agents attack FKM significantly less than many other elastomers.
UV + Ozone
Color that lasts.
The strap hardly fades, does not become brittle, and ages more slowly than classic rubber or silicone.
Premium comfort
Velvety. Flexible. Clean.
The surface feels high-quality, isn't sticky, and can usually be cleaned with water and a little soap.
Strap color
Individually combined
The strap makes the difference.
Choose the color that suits your watch and your everyday life. The watch body remains unchanged while the strap changes directly in the view.

Frequently asked questions
<p>Answers to the questions we hear most often about the company, watches, orders and service.</p>
Still have a question? Write to us
Where is ELYSEE Watches GmbH based?
<p>ELYSEE is based in Düsseldorf. Product development, sales and service come together at our headquarters, keeping us close to our watches and to our customers.</p>
How does an automatic watch work?
<p>An automatic watch draws its energy from movement on the wrist. A rotor winds the mainspring of the mechanical movement. If the watch is not worn for a longer period, it may stop and can then be restarted through the crown or by movement.</p>
How long does the warranty last?
<p>ELYSEE watches come with a 24-month manufacturer warranty. You can find the exact terms and warranty instructions in the documents supplied with your watch or directly through our service team.</p>
Can I return my order?
<p>Orders placed through our online store can be returned within 30 days. Items should be complete and in the condition in which you received them. Please use our returns portal to start the process.</p>
When will my order be delivered?
<p>The currently expected delivery time is shown on the product page and during checkout. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation with the available tracking information.</p>
What does the ATM rating mean?
<p>The ATM rating describes the tested water resistance of a model under laboratory conditions. Actual use depends on the stated rating. Water resistance is not a permanent property; seals should be checked regularly, especially before intensive water use.</p>
Can I change the strap myself?
<p>Many ELYSEE straps use a quick-release system and can be changed without tools. Please check the lug width and strap system of your model. If you are unsure, our service team will be happy to help.</p>
Where can I have my ELYSEE watch serviced or repaired?
<p>Our in-house service in Düsseldorf is your contact for inspection, maintenance and repair. Send us a short description of the issue and, if possible, photos so we can coordinate the next step with you.</p>
