The material of the watch mirror is divided into organic glass, ordinary mineral glass, sapphire glass and so on. Common case and strap materials include plastic, stainless steel, tungsten-titanium alloy, high-tech ceramics, precious metals and so on.

Sapphire glass, tungsten-titanium alloy and high-tech ceramics are damage-resistant materials,TUDOR Royal M28500-0006 with Morse level 9, 8 and 7 respectively (diamond level 10 respectively), but their hardness is relative, and some hard phases or more advanced substances, such as diamond, corundum, oxide metals, as well as sandpaper, nail files, granite surfaces can scratch the surface of these materials. At the same time, although these materials have anti-abrasive properties, but can not withstand strong impact, otherwise it will be easily broken.

Because sweat, dust, etc. Will corrode the appearance of the watch and may cause skin allergies, the case and strap need to be cleaned frequently with a toothbrush and detergent, and then washed with water to dry (if the watch is not waterproof, special care should be taken when cleaning. Specialized leather cleaner is required to clean leather straps).

And the appearance of the watch should avoid contact with all kinds of chemicals, and once contacted, it should be cleaned in time to avoid problems such as discoloration and peeling off of the coating.

Timekeeping Error of Watches

Usually, the timekeeping error of mechanical watches is allowed to be about 30 seconds per day, and the specific error can be determined according to the movement structure adopted by different models of enterprises.

Automatic mechanical watches rely on the swinging motion of the arm when worn to make the automatic watch rotate and wind. If it is not worn to the end or the amount of swinging is insufficient, it may cause the watch to stop running. Therefore, before wearing the watch again after it has stopped, you should turn the stem by hand. In addition, manual mechanical watches need to be wound by hand every day to ensure accurate timekeeping.

Water Resistance

The waterproof performance of the watch mainly relies on the waterproof apron of the watch mirror, back cover, handle, etc., and there are corresponding waterproof standards, which are usually divided into different grades, such as 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters,TUDOR Black Bay Chrono M79360N-0002 300 meters, 1000 meters, etc. The waterproof performance of the watch is mainly based on the waterproof apron of the watch mirror, back cover, handle, etc..

30 meters (i.e. 3 atmospheres) waterproof watch, refers to the watch surface contact with water without any water pressure added to the watch, so it can be used for daily freshening up or wearing in the rain; 100 meters above the professional waterproof watch can be used for swimming or diving and other underwater work.

Any waterproof watch should not be worn to wash the hot water bath, sangmo bath or in the working temperature changes have a lot of environmental use, because our waterproof rubber ring by the influence of different temperatures will be thermal expansion and contraction, so that the enterprise appeared a number of gaps and accelerate the aging, which can cause water and water condensate inside the table phenomenon, the seriousness of the movement of the mechanism to be certain damage.

The handle of the watch should be kept in the normal position. TUDOR Royal M28503-0008The handle of the screw watch should be locked. When the handle is wet with water, it must be dried and pulled out to prevent water from entering. Do not adjust the watch handle under water.

The watch's waterproof apron and handles (including the waterproof apron) need to be replaced periodically depending on use to ensure good water resistance.

Anti-magnetic properties

As the main part of the watch movement is made of metal, this will be affected by the temperature and reduce the accuracy of the movement time, in addition, hairpin, pendulum wheel and other key parts of the mechanical watch movement is most likely to be affected by the magnetic field, so the watch should be placed in a dry place, away from the magnetic field can produce electrons or next to magnetic objects. If available, it is best to use a special watch box to store your watch.

Maintenance of the movement

After a long time of use, the watch is bound to produce dirt inside the movement, which will affect the quality of the watch itself and even shorten the service life of the watch. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly maintain mechanical watches every 3-4 years. On the one hand, the movement must be particularly clean. On the other hand, in order to ensure the interaction between the parts in the movement, it is necessary to add special lubricants to the jewel bushings and other places. In addition, the wearer should not open the case back at will to prevent dust from entering the movement.

Role of Warranty Card

It is important to keep the watch purchase voucher and warranty card properly.
