FAQs

What is an automatic watch?

An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that is wound by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. It uses a rotor that spins with movement to wind the mainspring, powering the watch.

How do I care for the blue leather strap?

To care for the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth, and if necessary, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for watch straps.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with a 10 ATM water resistance rating, the watch is suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for deep-sea diving.

How often does an automatic watch need servicing?

It is generally recommended to have an automatic watch serviced by a professional watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to ensure its optimal performance and longevity.

What is the benefit of a sapphire crystal?

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and offers superior scratch resistance compared to mineral glass, helping to keep the watch face looking pristine over time.

What does 10 ATM water resistance mean?

10 ATM (Atmospheres) means the watch can withstand static pressure equivalent to 100 meters. This makes it suitable for everyday wear, including swimming and showering, but not for activities like scuba diving.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Ensure the watch has been sufficiently wound. If worn regularly, check for any obstructions or if it requires servicing. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown 30-40 times.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can have a slight variance. If significantly inaccurate, ensure it's fully wound. If the issue persists, the watch may need servicing to regulate the movement.

Leather strap shows signs of wear

Avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and condition periodically if needed, using products specifically designed for leather watch straps.

Difficulty setting the time or date

Gently pull the crown to the appropriate position. If the crown feels stiff, do not force it. Contact customer support or a watchmaker for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, there is no initial electronic setup required. To start the watch, gently shake it for about 30 seconds to engage the rotor and wind the mainspring. You can then set the time by pulling out the crown to the desired position and turning it. For precise timekeeping, it is recommended to fully wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise (while in the default position) about 30-40 times until you feel resistance.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices.

Care:

  1. Winding: If the watch is not worn daily, wind it manually before wearing to ensure optimal power reserve.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. The blue leather strap should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and allowed to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  3. Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before any water exposure.
  4. Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years to maintain its accuracy and longevity.
