Product Information

Full details

The Spirit Skeleton Automatic Watch is designed for horology enthusiasts and professionals who appreciate the intricate artistry of mechanical timepieces without sacrificing daily functionality. Its primary appeal lies in the exposed, fully open-worked dial that provides a constant view of the movement's mechanics, making it a standout accessory for formal or business-casual settings. A significant caveat for potential buyers is the substantial 44mm case size, which may feel oversized on smaller wrists, so it is best suited for those who prefer a bold, commanding presence on the arm.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic mechanical watch powered entirely by the kinetic movement of your wrist.

Can the leather strap be replaced?

Yes, the watch uses standard lug widths, allowing you to swap in other straps to customize your look.

Is this watch waterproof?

It is designed for everyday wear; however, it is not intended for swimming or diving. Keep it away from prolonged water exposure to protect the leather strap and movement.

How often should it be serviced?

It is recommended to have the mechanical movement inspected and oiled by a professional watchmaker every 3 to 5 years.

What is the lug-to-lug distance?

The watch features a 50mm lug-to-lug span, which helps determine how it fits across the width of your wrist.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Ensure the watch has been worn sufficiently or manually wind the crown to provide initial tension to the mainspring.

Time is inaccurate

Check if the watch has been exposed to magnets, and ensure the watch is getting enough wrist movement to maintain a full power reserve.

Indicators are not aligned

Refer to the manual to ensure you are setting the dual-time and day/night complications in the correct crown position, ensuring you are not adjusting them during the watch's date-change cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking visual aesthetic with fully exposed mechanics
  • High-quality leather strap for long-term comfort
  • Includes useful complications like the dual-time and day/night indicators
  • Substantial build quality that feels durable on the wrist

Cons

  • The 44mm case size is large and might not fit smaller wrists well
  • Skeleton dials can occasionally make quick time-reading more challenging compared to solid dials
  • Automatic movements require regular wear or a winder to maintain power reserve

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position and rotate until the hands reach the desired time. Use the dedicated pushers or crown positions to adjust the day/night indicator and the dual-time sub-dial according to the watch's movement configuration.

Care for the watch involves keeping the leather strap dry, as sweat and moisture can degrade the material over time. Regularly wipe the crystal with a soft microfiber cloth to keep the view into the skeleton movement clear. While the watch is robust, avoid exposing it to strong magnetic fields, such as those found near heavy speakers or industrial magnets, as these can interfere with the hairspring and cause the movement to lose time.
