FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic mechanical watch that is powered by the motion of your wrist.

Is the watch waterproof for swimming?

It is water-resistant to 50m, which is suitable for splashes, but it is not recommended for swimming or diving.

What does skeletonized mean?

A skeletonized watch has a dial and movement designed to remove unnecessary metal, allowing you to see the internal mechanical parts.

How do I wind the watch?

The watch winds itself automatically through your arm movement; however, you can also manually wind it by turning the crown while in its standard position.

Is the glass scratch-resistant?

The watch uses mineral glass, which is durable but can be scratched by harder materials; avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.

Can I replace the bracelet with a leather strap?

Yes, the watch features standard lugs that are compatible with many aftermarket straps of the correct width.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped running

Manually swing the watch gently to generate energy, or wear it on your wrist for several hours to build the power reserve.

Time is drifting or inaccurate

Ensure the watch has been worn consistently; if accuracy remains an issue, it may require regulation by a professional watchmaker.

Bracelet feels too loose or tight

Take the watch to a local jeweler to have the bracelet links adjusted for a proper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, gently pull the crown out to its furthest position and rotate it until the hands indicate the correct hour and minute, then push the crown firmly back in. Avoid wearing the watch during high-impact sports to prevent damage to the mechanical components. Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, such as speakers or electronic devices, which can affect the accuracy of an automatic movement. Clean the black PVD bracelet and case periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove oils and debris. For long-term performance, consider a professional service check every three to five years.
