FAQs

What does 'Powermatic 80' mean?

'Powermatic 80' refers to the automatic movement used in the watch, which offers an extended power reserve of approximately 80 hours when fully wound.

How do I wind the watch?

To wind the watch, gently turn the crown clockwise (away from you) while it is in the closed position. Approximately 30-40 turns are usually sufficient to start the movement.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Yes, with a 10 bar (100 meters) water resistance rating, this watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

How do I adjust the stainless steel bracelet?

Adjusting the bracelet typically involves removing or adding links. This is best done by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper fit and avoid damage.

Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the robust stainless steel construction, sapphire crystal, and comfortable design make it well-suited for daily wear.

What is the benefit of an 80-hour power reserve?

An 80-hour power reserve means the watch will continue to run accurately for over three days even after you take it off, providing convenience and reducing the need for frequent winding or setting.

Does the rose gold bezel require special care?

While the rose gold bezel is durable, it is still a precious metal. Avoid hard impacts and abrasive cleaners to maintain its luster. Clean with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running.

The watch is an automatic and requires movement to power its 80-hour reserve. If it has stopped, wind the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while in the closed position, then wear it or set the time.

Time is inaccurate.

Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the power reserve wound. Automatic watches can have a slight deviation (+/- seconds per day) compared to quartz watches. If the deviation is significant, consult a watchmaker.

Date is incorrect or not changing.

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-changing mechanism. If issues persist, refer to the manual for correct date-setting procedures.

Difficulty with the quick-release bracelet.

Gently slide the small lever on the underside of the bracelet towards the clasp to release it. Ensure you are using the correct method for your specific bracelet model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional 80-hour power reserve for extended timekeeping without winding.
  • Luxurious combination of stainless steel and 18K rose gold.
  • Timeless 70s-inspired design with a modern interpretation.
  • Durable construction with sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance.
  • Versatile 40mm case size suitable for most wrists.

Cons

  • Automatic movement requires regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.
  • The bezel, while luxurious, can be susceptible to scratches if not carefully handled.
  • May be perceived as a dress watch, limiting its use in highly rugged activities.
  • Strap changes require specific tools or the quick-release mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, the PRX Powermatic 80 is powered by the movement of your wrist. To set the time and date, gently pull the crown out to the first or second position (depending on your model) and turn it accordingly. If the watch has stopped, wind it manually by turning the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while in the closed position before setting the time.

Compatibility: The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist. The quick-release bracelet system allows for easy interchangeability with other compatible straps of the same lug width (typically 20mm for the 40mm model), enabling customization.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. The water resistance rating of 10 bar means it is suitable for swimming and shallow diving but not for high-speed water sports or deep diving.
  • Winding: To maintain accuracy, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day. If the watch stops, wind it manually before wearing or setting.
