FAQs

What kind of movement does this pocket watch have?

This Ravel pocket watch uses a quality quartz movement, which is battery-powered and known for its accuracy.

Can the pocket watch be engraved?

Yes, the full-hunter case design makes it an ideal surface for engraving, making it a popular choice for personalized gifts.

Does it come with a chain?

Yes, the watch includes a matching chain for convenient wear.

How do I set the date?

Gently pull the crown to the first position and rotate it until the correct date is displayed in the window. It's best to do this when the time is between 3 AM and 9 AM to avoid affecting the automatic date change.

What is the Ravel R1001.10 made of?

The watch features a polished chrome-plated case.

Is the watch waterproof?

This pocket watch is not designed to be waterproof. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or submersion in water.

What is included with the watch?

Troubleshooting

Watch not keeping accurate time

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may be low and require replacement by a professional.

Date is not changing correctly

The date mechanism may have been adjusted while the watch was between approximately 9 PM and 3 AM. Set the time to 12:00, then adjust the date by rotating the crown in the appropriate direction (usually at the first crown position) until the correct date appears. For months with fewer than 31 days, you may need to manually adjust the date on the 1st of the following month.

Cover does not close properly

Check for any obstructions around the case rim or hinge. Ensure the watch is sitting correctly within the case before closing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Unpack the watch from its Ravel presentation box.
  2. Pull out the crown (the small knob on the side) to its first position to set the date. Rotate it until the desired date appears in the window. Ensure you do this when the time is between 3 AM and 9 AM to avoid interfering with the automatic date change mechanism. If the date changes at the wrong time, set the time to 12:00 and then proceed.
  3. Pull the crown out to its second position to set the time. Move the hands to the correct time, then push the crown back in fully.

Compatibility:

This is a mechanical accessory and does not have electronic compatibility requirements.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the case and crystal regularly. For stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is not exposed to excessive moisture. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery: The quartz movement is powered by a small battery. When the timekeeping becomes erratic or stops, the battery will need replacing by a qualified watch technician.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its presentation box when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
