Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this watch need a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist or by manual winding, featuring a 21-jewel automatic movement.

How long does the power reserve last?

The watch has a power reserve of up to 42 hours when fully wound.

Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?

Yes, with 200-meter water resistance, it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water.

What is the case made of?

The case is made of stainless steel with a gold-tone plating.

Is the crystal scratch-resistant?

Yes, the watch is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

What does the 'open heartbeat aperture' mean?

This feature is a small window on the dial that allows you to see the balance wheel of the automatic movement in action, often referred to as the 'heartbeat' of the watch.

How do I maintain the gold-tone finish?

Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For significant wear or tarnishing, professional polishing may be required.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Ensure the watch has been wound manually or worn consistently. Automatic watches need movement to stay powered. If it continues to stop, the power reserve may be depleted or there might be an issue with the movement.

Timekeeping is inaccurate

Automatic watches can gain or lose a few seconds per day. Significant deviations may require a service. Ensure the watch is fully wound and not exposed to strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.

Crown is difficult to turn or pull

Ensure you are turning or pulling the crown correctly. If it feels stuck, do not force it, as this could damage the movement. Contact a professional watchmaker for assistance.

Scratches on the crystal or case

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not immune. Minor scratches on the case can sometimes be polished by a professional. Significant scratches on the crystal may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel resistance. Do not overwind. Once running, wearing the watch will continue to wind it automatically.
Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position to set the time. Push it back in fully when finished.

Compatibility:

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

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet and case with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the crystal, a soft microfiber cloth is recommended.
Water Resistance: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated water. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before exposing the watch to water. For water resistance beyond 50 meters, it is advisable to have the seals checked annually by a professional.
Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period, ensure it is fully wound to prevent the lubricants from settling.
