Product Information

Full details

The Spirit Skeleton Automatic Watch is designed for horology enthusiasts and professionals who appreciate the intricate beauty of mechanical movements. Its primary benefit is the striking, fully open-worked design that showcases the watch's internal architecture, providing a sophisticated look for daily wear. One caveat to consider is that the mineral glass crystal is less scratch-resistant than sapphire alternatives, requiring careful handling to maintain its pristine appearance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this watch water-resistant?

While it features a robust build, it is designed for daily wear and should be kept away from excessive water, showers, or swimming.

How do I wind the watch?

The watch is an automatic movement, meaning it winds itself as you move your arm. You can also manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise in the neutral position.

Can I replace the leather strap?

Yes, the watch features standard lugs, allowing you to swap the leather strap for other materials of the same width.

Does the watch need a battery?

No, as a mechanical automatic watch, it does not require batteries to operate.

What is the benefit of an exhibition caseback?

It allows you to view the intricate mechanical parts and rotor movement of the watch, which is a hallmark feature for mechanical watch collectors.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running

The watch may have depleted its power reserve. Gently swing the watch horizontally for a minute to jumpstart the automatic rotor.

Watch is running fast or slow

Mechanical watches can be affected by temperature or magnetism. If the deviation is significant, consult a professional watchmaker for calibration.

Condensation under the glass

This indicates a potential seal issue. Keep the watch away from moisture and contact a service center immediately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Sophisticated skeleton dial provides a high-end visual appeal
Balanced 40mm case size offers excellent wrist presence
Exhibition caseback adds depth and interest for mechanical watch lovers
Polished hands and indices ensure good legibility

Cons

Mineral glass is more prone to scratches than sapphire crystal
Open dial can make it slightly harder to read in low light
Automatic movement requires regular wear to keep the power reserve charged

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting the time on your Spirit Skeleton is straightforward: pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the time. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully to maintain water resistance. To care for the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or sweat, as these elements can accelerate wear and cause odor. Keep the mineral glass surface clean using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Since the watch features a mechanical movement, it is recommended to have it serviced by a professional watchmaker every three to five years to ensure internal lubrication remains optimal.
