Product Information

Full details

This Certina Powermatic Automatic Analogue Timepiece in green is for individuals who appreciate precision engineering and classic design. Its key benefit is the self-winding mechanism, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring consistent accuracy. A potential caveat is the reliance on movement for power, meaning it may stop if not worn regularly. The watch features a precision analogue display, Powermatic technology for reliable timekeeping, and a distinguished case design.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, the Certina Powermatic watch features an automatic self-winding mechanical movement that is powered by the natural motion of the wearer's wrist.

How do I wind the watch?

You can wind the watch by wearing it throughout the day, or by manually turning the crown clockwise about 30-40 times when the crown is in its resting position.

What is the power reserve of the Powermatic movement?

The specific power reserve can vary by model, but Powermatic movements are generally known for substantial power reserves, often lasting 50 hours or more on a full wind.

How accurate is an automatic watch?

Accuracy can vary, but a well-maintained automatic watch typically runs within a few seconds per day of COSC chronometer standards, though some variation is normal.

Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?

This depends on the specific water resistance rating of your watch model. Always check the specifications for your watch and ensure the crown is securely in place before any water exposure.

What does 'Analogue Timepiece' mean?

An analogue timepiece displays time using hands (hour, minute, second) that point to markers or numerals on a dial, as opposed to a digital display showing numbers.

How often does this watch need servicing?

Mechanical watches typically require professional servicing every 3 to 5 years to maintain their accuracy and prolong their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the watch has been worn recently or manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise to build a power reserve.

Inaccurate timekeeping

If the inaccuracy is significant, the watch may require servicing. Minor deviations might occur with automatic watches and can sometimes be related to magnetic interference or needing a service.

Crown is difficult to turn or set

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting the time. If it remains stiff, do not force it; seek professional inspection.

Discoloration or damage to the strap

For leather straps, avoid prolonged exposure to water and sweat. For metal bracelets, clean gently with a soft cloth. Consider replacement if damage is significant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Certina Powermatic watch is designed for immediate use. Upon receiving the watch, if it has stopped, gently wind the crown clockwise about 30-40 turns to build an initial power reserve. Alternatively, wearing the watch will automatically begin winding the mechanism. The time can be set by pulling the crown out to the appropriate position and turning it.

Compatibility: This is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices or software.

Care: To maintain the watch's performance and appearance:

  • Winding: Wear the watch daily or wind it manually if not worn for more than 24-48 hours to ensure continuous operation.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. If the watch has a leather strap, avoid exposing it to moisture.
  • Water Resistance: Consult the specific water resistance rating for your model. Avoid submerging the watch beyond its rated depth and always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water.
  • Servicing: Mechanical watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
