FAQs

How does the self-winding mechanism work?

The watch is powered by the movement of your wrist. An internal rotor spins and winds the mainspring, storing energy for the watch to run.

How often should I have the watch serviced?

It is generally recommended to have your watch serviced every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance.

Is the watch water-resistant?

Yes, it is water-resistant up to 100 meters, suitable for swimming and showering.

How do I adjust the strap?

The strap has a classic pin buckle. You can easily adjust the strap length to fit your wrist by moving the pin to the desired hole.

Can I wear the watch during sports?

While the watch is water-resistant, it's best to avoid extreme impact sports to prevent damage.

What kind of battery does the watch use?

This is an automatic watch, so it doesn't use a battery. It's powered by the movement of your wrist.

What should I do if the watch stops working?

First, try manually winding the watch. If it still doesn't work, it may require professional servicing.
