The Belmont Blue Dial Watch from Duckworth Prestex is designed for watch enthusiasts who appreciate classic design and robust engineering. Its key benefit is the combination of a durable, water-resistant build with a distinctive aesthetic, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. A potential caveat is that its automatic movement requires occasional winding if not worn regularly. This timepiece features a retro cushion-style case, a striking blue fume dial with a wave pattern, and a reliable Miyota 9039 automatic movement, all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

No, the Belmont features a Miyota 9039 automatic movement, which is powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist. It does not use a battery.
To keep the automatic movement running, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day. If you do not wear it daily, you can use a watch winder or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise 20-30 times periodically.
Yes, with a water resistance of 300 meters, the Belmont is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, ensure the crown is fully secured before water exposure.
The blue fume dial features a distinctive smoky gradient effect and a wave pattern, offering a unique visual depth. The contrasting yellow elements add a pop of color and enhance legibility.
Yes, the watch comes with a high-grade steel 3-link bracelet featuring a quick-release mechanism, allowing for easy strap changes without tools.
An automatic movement is a type of mechanical watch movement that winds itself through the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. It uses a rotor that spins with movement to tighten the mainspring, storing energy.
Wipe the bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the watch has been wound sufficiently. If not worn recently, shake it gently for 30 seconds or manually wind the crown 20-30 times. If the issue persists, the movement may require servicing.
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting time/date. If it feels stiff, do not force it. Check for debris around the crown or consider professional servicing.
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from any moisture immediately and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker as soon as possible to prevent internal damage.
Check for any obstructions in the clasp mechanism. If it remains stiff, a small amount of lubricant designed for metal may be applied by a professional, or the clasp may need adjustment.
Setup: The Belmont watch is ready to wear out of the box. If the watch has stopped, gently shake it for about 30 seconds to engage the automatic movement, or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise 20-30 times while in the 'O' position. Once running, set the time and date.
Compatibility: The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist. The included 3-link steel bracelet is compatible with standard lug widths, allowing for aftermarket strap replacements (e.g., leather, rubber, NATO) with a quick-release mechanism.
