FAQs

What does '50 meters water resistance' mean for this watch?

50 meters water resistance means the watch is suitable for everyday use, resistant to splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water (e.g., washing hands). It is NOT suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or prolonged submersion, as these activities can create pressure greater than the seals can withstand.

How do I set the time and day/date on my Sekonda Classic 1440.27?

To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position, turn to adjust, and push back in. To set the day/date, pull the crown out to the first click, turn in respective directions, and avoid setting between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage. Always push the crown fully back in when finished.

Is the watch bracelet adjustable?

Yes, the stainless steel bracelet is adjustable. It typically requires links to be removed to achieve the correct fit. For precise sizing and to prevent damage, it is strongly recommended to have this procedure performed by a professional jeweler or watchmaker.

How should I clean my watch?

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but avoid getting moisture on the watch head. Always dry thoroughly afterward.

What type of battery does this watch use?

Info needed: As a quartz watch (assumed, but not specified), it will use a button-cell battery. The specific model number of the battery should be determined by a professional watchmaker when it's time for replacement.

Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?

No, this watch is not recommended for swimming or showering. Its 50m water resistance protects against splashes and rain, but not against sustained water pressure, hot water, or steam, which can damage the internal components and seals.

What is a 'sunray dial'?

A sunray dial is a watch face finish where fine lines radiate outwards from the center, mimicking the rays of the sun. This finish creates a dynamic visual effect, making the dial appear to change in shade and intensity as light hits it from different angles, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Troubleshooting

My watch has stopped running.

First, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it's a quartz watch (info needed), the battery might need replacing. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement or movement inspection.

The day/date display is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are setting the day/date outside the 'danger zone' hours (typically 9 PM to 3 AM). If the issue persists, gently pull the crown out to the first click and cycle through the days/dates to ensure they advance properly. If it remains stuck, seek professional assistance.

There is condensation inside the watch face.

Condensation indicates that moisture has entered the watch, compromising its water resistance. Immediately take your watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent further damage to the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting Up Your Watch

  1. Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in completely to start the watch.
  2. Setting Day/Date: Pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown in one direction to adjust the date and in the other to adjust the day. Important: Avoid setting the day/date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If you need to set it during this period, first set the time outside of this window (e.g., 6 AM), then set the day/date, and finally set the correct time. Push the crown back in when done.
  3. Bracelet Adjustment: The two-tone stainless steel bracelet may need to be sized to fit your wrist comfortably. This usually involves removing links. It is highly recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watchmaker to avoid damaging the bracelet or watch.

Compatibility

The Sekonda Classic 1440.27 is a self-contained timepiece. It is universally compatible with any wardrobe choice, offering a classic aesthetic that complements both modern and traditional styles. No external electronic compatibility is required.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints. For the bracelet, you can use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap (avoiding the watch head) if it gets particularly dirty, then dry thoroughly.
  • Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam (e.g., showers, saunas), or direct jets of water, as this can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the case, bracelet, and seals.
  • Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect its accuracy and lifespan.
  • Magnetic Fields: Strong magnetic fields can affect the watch's accuracy. Keep it away from strong magnets, such as those found in speakers, refrigerators, or some electronic devices.
  • Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original box or a soft pouch to protect it from scratches.
