Icon5 Tudor Black Bay distressed leather maintenance

It has seen a lot of water this year, pool, ocean water, household, sand and sun.

How often should I clean it and with what. I'm sure it needs a conditioner that can repel water and keep it looking new ( distressed ) without it looking beat up.

Thank you

I don't believe the leather was meant to be worn in water.

I can't blame him for thinking it could be worn in water- as it is a classic diver design.

I'd replace the strap and use the nylon going forward when it needs to see water.
