COVID-19 UPDATE

Shipping

We are working hard to get your orders to where they need to go. However, due to flight cancellations and government restrictions we are experiencing some understandable delays between 2-4 weeks so, it will take a little longer for your order to arrive. Hang in there 5TH fam, as your watch will be worth the wait.

Online Orders

We are dispatching all online orders as per usual. However, due to the limited work capacity of our AU warehouse, all orders are now shipping from the US. If there are any issues with your order, we will be in touch.

Our Warehouse

Our US warehouse is operating and shipping out orders for you. They are running at full capacity to keep up with demand and have implemented cautionary measures, to help reduce the risk of their employees and beyond. Please note, these cautionary measures may increase processing times, but as always you will receive a tracking confirmation email once your order has shipped.

Care and Specifications

I’d like to know how to best take care of my strap

It’s important to protect the leather band of your watch to ensure its longevity. We suggest you keep your band as dry as possible at all times. To avoid discolouring, try to avoid exposure to sunlight for extended periods of time. If using a mild leather cleaner, please follow instructions carefully to avoid damaging your band. Please note, wear and tear of straps are not covered by our 24-month manufacturer warranty.

Are the watches water resistant?

The 5TH watches either have a water resistance of 5 ATM or 10 ATM. Watches with a water resistance of 5 ATM can resist splashes of water from hand washing but won’t be able to withstand water submersion and should not be worn when swimming or bathing. Watches with a 10 ATM water resistance can be taken swimming at a shallow depth but cannot be taken diving. Please note, water damage is not covered by our 24-month manufacturer warranty. All 5TH watches are 5ATM Water Resistant, i.e. your watch will be okay in the shower or swimming in shallow water. To maintain the quality of your leather strap, we suggest you avoid excessive exposure to water. The crown needs to be pushed in completely to stop water from entering the watch and damaging the movement.

I’d like to know how to best take care of my frames

Your frames come with a semi-hard premium case and 5TH microfibre cleaning cloth. To clean the lens use your microfibre cleaning cloth and a liquid cleaner or gentle lens solution that is designed specifically for prescription glasses or sunglasses. Never clean your frames using tissues, paper towel or clothing – dust and fibres can scratch the lens of your frames. Avoid using detergents and soaps as these can damage lenses over time especially with repetitive use. When not wearing your frames make sure they are stored safely in the semi-hard premium case to avoid damage.
