FAQs

How often do I need to wind this watch?

As an automatic watch, it is designed to be wound by the motion of your wrist. Wearing it for 8-10 hours a day should keep it sufficiently wound. If you don't wear it daily, a gentle shake for 30 seconds will start it.

Can I wear this watch in the shower?

The watch is rated for 5 ATM water resistance, which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion. However, it is not recommended to wear it in the shower due to the heat and steam, which can affect seals over time.

What does 'skeleton dial' mean?

A skeleton dial means that parts of the watch's movement (the internal mechanism) are visible through the front of the dial, offering a view of the gears and other components at work.

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist, not a battery. The internal mechanism winds itself as you move.

How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?

Clean the bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid soaps or chemical cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped or not running

Gently shake the watch for 30 seconds to wind the automatic movement. Ensure it is being worn regularly to maintain power.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can have a slight variance. If significantly inaccurate, it may require professional servicing. Ensure the watch is fully wound.

Scratches on the stainless steel

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a specialized stainless steel polishing cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a watch repair professional.

Condensation under the crystal

This indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately stop wearing the watch near water and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker.

  • Reliable automatic movement for precise timekeeping.
  • Durable stainless steel construction for longevity.
  • Water resistance suitable for daily activities.
  • Striking silver color that makes a statement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As an automatic watch, the Skeleton Spectre needs to be wound to start its movement. If the watch has stopped, gently shake it back and forth for about 30 seconds to engage the rotor and begin winding the mainspring. For continuous operation, wearing the watch daily will keep it wound through the motion of your wrist.

Compatibility:

This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the stainless steel case and bracelet. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the watch is completely dried afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 5 ATM, avoid prolonged immersion in water. Ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain water resistance. It is not suitable for diving or high-velocity water activities.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period, consider using a watch winder to keep the automatic movement functional.
