Maintaining your automatic watch

automatic-setting-watchesThe movements of our automatic watches are very reliable, however an automatic mechanical movement needs cleaning and oiling every 3-5 years depending on the regularity of usage.

Over the duration of time the oil, which lubricates the movement tends to get thicker and then loses its efficiency. With regular maintenance your automatic watch will have lifetime of use. However without caution your watch will only work correctly for around 10 years. If the watch is neglected and not regularly maintained, the movement could age prematurely.

Take care of your watch

All of our watches are designed for intensive use. You can keep it in excellent condition by applying a few simple rules :

  • Clean it from time to time with a mild detergent and a soft brush.
  • Rinse your watch using clean, fresh water, after diving or swimming in saltwater.

For those operations the locker can be opened without any trouble.

Avoid high temperatures. Don’t leave your watch by a source of heat for long time.
