Seven Golden Rules for Maintaining Watches

Key Points Preview
Manually wind the rotor clockwise for 30 turns to meet the power demand.
The 50-meter waterproof watch should not be exposed to hot water. It can be used for swimming when it is 100 meters or above.
Regularly wipe the case with a suede cloth. Wear it at least once a month to keep the movement vigorous.

I. Scientific Maintenance of the Power System

Manual winding should be done every morning at a fixed time by rotating clockwise 30 times. Stop immediately when you feel the resistance.
For automatic winding watches, wearing them for 8 hours daily can maintain the energy. For those who sit at work for long periods, it is recommended to wind them 15 times daily.
If the watch stops working for a long time, it will cause the lubricating oil to solidify. It is recommended to purchase a dedicated winding tool to maintain dynamic balance.
II. Blind spots in understanding waterproof performance
The waterproof rating corresponds to the actual usage scenarios:

30 meters: Waterproof against splashing water (hand washing / light rain)
50 meters: Suitable for short-term cold water rinsing
100 meters: Suitable for swimming in a pool
200 meters: Suitable for professional diving use
III. Modern Strategies for Magnetic Field Defense

Keep at least 15 centimeters away from mobile phones/tablets.
Avoid contact with kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens and induction cookers.
If the deviation exceeds 30 seconds, send for inspection and demagnetization immediately.

For precious metal models, the oxide layer on the surface is polished weekly with a professional polishing cloth.
For sapphire crystal surfaces, avoid scratching with diamonds or sandpaper.
After sweating, promptly use a soft cloth to absorb the moisture from the leather strap.
V. Management of the Lifespan of Precision Movements

Replace the waterproof gasket every three years.
Perform the cleaning and maintenance of the movement every five years.
For complex-function wristwatches (e.g., perpetual calendar/rotor), return them to the original factory for maintenance.
Six. Scientific Parameters for Storage Environment

The temperature should be controlled within the range of 5 – 35℃.
The humidity should be maintained within the range of 45% – 75%.
Keep away from volatile chemicals such as camphor balls.
