Product Information

Full details

The Duckworth Prestex Bolton Chronograph Watch is designed for individuals who appreciate classic watchmaking with modern reliability. Its key benefit is offering the sophisticated look and functionality of a chronograph powered by an accurate quartz movement, with a water resistance suitable for daily wear. A potential caveat for some may be its 39mm case size, which, while restrained, might be smaller than preferred by those accustomed to larger watches. This timepiece reinterprets a 1924 original, featuring a cushion-shaped stainless steel case, a white porcelain dial with stylised numerals and blued steel hands, and dual chronograph sub-dials, all protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal and secured with a Horween leather strap.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hands not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been fully stopped and reset. If the issue persists, the movement may require servicing.

Watch is fogging up internally

This indicates a potential breach of water resistance. Immediately ensure the crown is screwed down tightly and avoid any further water exposure. Have the watch inspected by a professional.

Timekeeping is inaccurate

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch consistently loses or gains time, the battery may be low or the movement may require servicing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields.
