Warranty eligibility applies only to watches:
• Purchased directly from WILBUR, or
• Purchased through a WILBUR authorized retailer
Warranty Duration
• EXP & LEO models: two (2) years
• Launch Edition pieces: limited lifetime coverage
Certified Pre-Owned watches retain warranty coverage only if officially certified by WILBUR.
Any watch resold through unauthorized channels automatically voids warranty coverage.
Watches sold under special pricing terms, including demo or sales watches, are eligible for warranty coverage only for the original purchaser. Warranty coverage does not transfer.
Any transfer of ownership, public resale listing, online resale offering, or third-party sale voids warranty eligibility.
All warranty claims and service requests are handled directly through WILBUR. Proof of purchase is required.

This warranty does not cover:
• Normal wear and cosmetic aging
• Watch cases, bracelets, straps, crystals, screws
• Damage caused by misuse, neglect, or improper handling
• Damage from water exposure beyond rated resistance
• Damage caused by third-party modification or customization
WILBUR watches are water resistant, not waterproof. They are not intended for diving or submersion. Exposure to saltwater, chemicals, or solvents may cause permanent damage.
The crown must remain in the closed position unless actively setting the time or date.

Any watch not explicitly designated as Certified Pre-Owned by WILBUR is not verified by us and may not meet our quality, authenticity, or service standards.

WILBUR cannot guarantee provenance, condition, authenticity, or service eligibility for watches purchased outside of authorized channels.
If you are uncertain about the origin of a watch, please contact WILBUR before purchasing.
