[Introduction] Watch maintenance

Proper usage

The basic precaution is not to drop it or hit it hard.
Since a wristwatch is a precision machine, it is important to handle it carefully. As for waterproofing, if it is more than waterproofing for daily life, there is no problem with normal hand washing. Make sure the crown is tight before you go. It is recommended to remove the leather or fabric belt as it will deteriorate faster if it gets wet.

Easy care

After wearing, wipe off sweat, dirt, dust, etc. with a special watch cloth, chamois (deer) leather or a soft cloth. If soaked in seawater, tighten the crown tightly and then rinse with fresh water. After washing, wipe off the water with a soft cloth.

点検、修正

If something goes wrong, such as a malfunction or a part coming off, contact the manufacturer, purchase shop or watch repair shop for inspection or correction. We also recommend regular maintenance even if there are no particular problems.

Regular maintenance

For general mechanical watches, we recommend overhauling once every 3 to 5 years, and for quartz watches, when replacing the battery, including a waterproof inspection.

overhaul

For mechanical watches, the internal machinery is disassembled and cleaned, each part is inspected, and worn parts are replaced. Then reassemble while adding oil for long-term lubrication. Quartz watches are also powered by gears, just like mechanical watches. It may break down due to oil retention inside the machine, battery leakage, intrusion of water such as sweat, etc., so it is recommended to overhaul at the timing of battery replacement.
* In addition to overhaul, the exterior can be polished (finished) to regain a brilliance close to that of a New product.
