| Automatic Watch Maintenance |
| Although automatic mechanical watches do not have batteries,some easy-to-follow maintenance is necessary for |
| continued and long-lasting good use. |
| |
| Self-winding automatic watches depend on the movement of the arm to operate and do require some winding,even if you |
| wear your watch on a daily basis. |
| |
| If you wear your Automatic watch everyday ,it is best to wind it once,every two weeks to keep the wheels in motion and |
| oil fluid. Simply wind the crown (the same knob used to adjust the time and date) until you meet slight resistance. |
| |
| If you do not wear your Automatic watch everyday ,you should try to wind it at least twice a week to ensure continuous |
| operation, as well as keeping the inside mechanism in complete running order. |
| |
| Try to wind your mechanical watch at the same time every day. This is extremely beneficial for the mechanism. You may |
| want to make it a routine, winding it every morning when you wake up. |
|
| Avoid setting the day and/or date (if your watch has these functions) at night.The day-date mechanism is activated during |
| the nighttime hours and could be disrupted if set at this time. |
|
| And, always avoid wearing your mechanical watch, if you are playing a sport requiring continuous arm motion (e.g. tennis, |
| baseball, golf), since continuous arm motion could damage the movement. |
