FAQs

What is the significance of the Coronation 2023 Limited Edition?

This watch was designed to commemorate a significant year for the United Kingdom, including the coronation of King Charles III. It features a special '2023' on the sub-dial and is strictly limited to 365 pieces.

What type of movement does this watch use?

The watch houses a reliable Japanese automatic movement, which is powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist.

Is this watch waterproof?

The product description does not specify water resistance ratings. It is advisable to avoid submerging the watch in water and to protect it from moisture to maintain its performance and longevity.

How do I keep the automatic movement running?

To keep an automatic watch running, it needs to be worn regularly. The movement of your wrist winds the mainspring. If the watch is not worn for a period, you may need to manually wind it.

What is the case material and finish?

The watch features the characteristic Duckworth Prestex brushed and polished cushion case.

Can I replace the strap?

Yes, the watch is compatible with standard watch straps should you wish to replace or customize it.

What is the 'Small Seconds' sub-dial?

The 'Small Seconds' sub-dial is a separate, smaller dial at the 4 o'clock position dedicated to displaying the running seconds, adding a classic aesthetic element.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped

Manually wind the crown clockwise for 30-40 turns. If the issue persists after wearing, the movement may require servicing.

Timekeeping is inaccurate (gaining or losing significant time)

Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound. If inaccuracies persist, it may need regulation by a watchmaker.

Crown is difficult to turn or set

Ensure the crown is in the correct position for winding or setting. If it remains stiff, do not force it and seek professional assistance.

Condensation under the crystal

This indicates a potential seal breach and water ingress. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a watch professional.

  • High-quality automatic movement.
  • Distinctive cushion case design.
  • Exhibition case back adds a premium feel and mechanical appreciation.

Cons

  • The '2023' sub-dial might limit its appeal to a specific year.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, there is no specific digital setup required. Upon receiving the watch, it is recommended to manually wind the crown approximately 30-40 turns to ensure the movement is fully powered before setting the time and date.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not interface with digital devices. It is compatible with standard watch straps if replacement or customization is desired.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
  • Protect the watch from harsh impacts and shocks.
  • If the watch is water-resistant, refer to specific depth ratings before submerging. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while underwater.
  • Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is not wet.
  • For the automatic movement, it is recommended to have it serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance.
