Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a Roderico Giuliani piece different?+

Every piece is built from materials chosen to last — 316L surgical steel, hardened mineral glass, genuine leather, UV400 polarised lenses — and finished with care. They are made to be worn daily and kept for years.

What materials are used in the watches?+

Metal. All metal watches use 316L surgical steel, chosen for its purity, durability and anti-corrosive properties.

Plating. We use ion-plating, a more sustainable method than traditional plating.

Glass. Hardened mineral glass, resistant to normal wear and tear, though it should be handled with care.

Leather. All straps are genuine leather. As an organic material, grain and texture vary, and changes in hue through wear are a natural part of ageing.

Rubber. Durable, temperature and chemical resistant, with a fine surface finish and weight. Synthetic rubber can break if pulled too hard, though this is uncommon.

What materials are used in the sunglasses?+

Cellulose acetate. A bio-based material derived from renewable sources such as cotton or wood pulp, more sustainable than fossil-based plastics.

Metal. Frames and components use 316L surgical steel for its purity, durability and anti-corrosive properties.

TAC lenses. Seven-layer Triacetate Cellulose UV400 polarised lenses — a lightweight construction that improves visual and polarisation clarity.

What is the water resistance of a Roderico Giuliani watch?+

Our watches are water resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), which covers rain and everyday splashes. They are not designed for swimming or diving, and wearing one in a pool may void the warranty.

Are the sunglasses UV protected?+

All our sunglasses are UV400 protected, blocking light rays with wavelengths up to 400 nanometres — covering all UVA and UVB rays.

Are the sunglasses polarised?+

Yes. All lenses are polarised to reduce glare and enhance contrast by filtering out horizontal light waves — useful for driving, fishing, skiing or golf.

How do I replace the watch battery?+

Batteries are available at any electronics store and most watch repair shops, and any repair shop can fit one. We don't recommend replacing it yourself — it requires special tools and risks damaging the watch.
