FAQs

How often should I have my Hydroconquest serviced?

It is recommended to have your watch serviced every 3-5 years to maintain its optimal performance and water resistance.

Is the Hydroconquest suitable for scuba diving?

Yes, the Hydroconquest is designed for diving, with water resistance up to 300 meters and a rotating bezel for tracking dive time.

Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and direct sunlight.

What is the power reserve of the L844 calibre movement?

The L844 calibre movement offers a power reserve of 72 hours.

Can I adjust the strap myself?

The Hydroconquest has a double security folding clasp with a micro-adjustment system, but for complex adjustments, it's best to consult a watchmaker.

What should I do if water gets inside my watch?

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running.

Check if the watch is wound or if it needs to be wound. If it is an automatic watch, ensure it has been worn for a sufficient amount of time to build up power reserve.

The date is not changing correctly.

Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged. Reset the date manually or bring it in for service.

Water or condensation inside the watch.

Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker to prevent damage to the movement.

The bezel is difficult to turn.

Rinse the bezel with fresh water and dry it. If the problem persists, the watch may need to be serviced.
