FAQs

Does the automatic movement require battery replacement?

No, the Miyota 9039 is an automatic movement that is powered by the motion of your wrist. It does not use a battery.

How often should I wind the watch manually?

You only need to wind the watch manually if it has stopped running, typically after not being worn for about 48 hours. Regular wear will keep it wound.

Can I wear this watch for scuba diving?

The watch has a water resistance of 300m, which is suitable for swimming and surface water activities. For professional scuba diving, a watch specifically rated for higher depths and suitable for that activity is recommended.

Is the orange dial color stable over time?

The dial is designed for durability. While direct, prolonged exposure to intense UV light could potentially affect colors over many years, the materials used are intended to maintain their vibrancy.

What is the warranty period for the Duckworth Prestex Belmont?

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your purchase or contact Duckworth Prestex customer service for details.

How do I clean the rubber strap?

Clean the rubber strap with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise. If worn regularly, ensure sufficient wrist movement throughout the day. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Difficulty setting time or date

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position (first for date, second for time). Do not force the crown. Consult the setup instructions or contact support if problems persist.

Water resistance compromised (e.g., condensation under glass)

Immediately dry the watch and do not operate the crown or buttons. Contact customer support for inspection and service. Avoid further water exposure until serviced.

Strap replacement is difficult

Ensure you are pushing the pin on the quick-release spring bar correctly. Practice on a soft surface. If you encounter issues, a local watchmaker can assist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Winding: If the watch has stopped, manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel some resistance. This is sufficient to start the automatic movement.
Setting Time and Date: Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, and to the second position to set the time. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully after setting.
Strap Change: Utilize the quick-release spring bars located on the underside of the strap. Gently push the pin on the spring bar inwards to release the strap. Align the new strap's spring bar and release the pin to secure it.

Compatibility:

The watch is compatible with standard watch straps that accommodate 20mm lug widths. The quick-release spring bars allow for tool-free changes.

Care:

Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chlorine, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth. It is recommended to have the water resistance tested periodically, especially if frequently submerged.
Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Movement: The automatic movement is designed to be self-winding through wrist motion. If the watch is not worn for extended periods (more than 48 hours), it may stop and require manual winding.
Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields.
