How do I take care of my watch?
Keeping your watch in good working order is easy with some basic maintenance from time to time.
Here’s a few tips to help:
- Avoid exposing your non-water resistant watch to moisture.
- Metal bracelets can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft toothbrush.
- Never adjust the date on your watch when the hour hand is between the hours of 9 and 3 o’clock to avoid damage to the watches gears and pinion.
- Water-resistant watches should always have the crown screwed down tightly before exposure to water.
- If your watch is hand-wound, make sure that you wind it fully at the same time each day and stop when you feel resistance.
- An automatic watch should be worn daily to remain at peak accuracy.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields. Always avoid direct contact with magnets.
- Unexpected impacts or shocks can result in damage to the case, crystal or crown, as well as the internal components.
- Take your watch off your wrist to wind it.
If your watch came with a transferable guarantee, don't forget to get it serviced at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer – they aren't very frequent but they can add many years to the life of your watch.
