6 Tips for Maintenance of Automatic Mechanical Watch Movement

Watches are an indispensable tool in our lives, and many people wear them for travel or work. Among the watches, the most expensive is the mechanical watch. Mechanical watches are more careful to use than quartz watches, especially the movement of mechanical watches, which is much more complicated than quartz watches. Automatic mechanical watch manufacturers need to be very careful at every step during the production process to ensure that all accessories are installed without problems. Automatic quartz watch movements require frequent maintenance, especially the following 6 aspects.

1. Avoid excessive vibration when wearing the watch

Only if you have an appropriate amount of activity can it continue to be wound up and run normally (the wearer may walk slowly when the activity is small, which is normal. When using it for the first time, please turn the handle 20-30 rotations to wind up). Although the automatic mechanical watch is shockproof, it is easy to break the tip of the pendulum shaft or the journal of the gear train when the external impact force is large, and it can also make the fast and slow hands vibrate. If economic capacity permits, two or three watches can be replaced in daily life: a mechanical watch for static activities, and a quartz watch for sports activities, which can prolong the service life of the watch according to local conditions.

2. Prevent magnetization of automatic mechanical watches

Although watches are made of non-magnetic materials that are not easily magnetized, they are greatly affected by magnetic fields when walking, such as magnetic buckles on TVs, radio speakers, backpacks, or purses.

3. Automatic mechanical watches are waterproof

Try not to wear a watch while swimming or doing laundry. Once it rains or gets wet, you should not pull out the handle to adjust the watch at this time, but wipe it dry immediately. Sea water is untouchable. Even if the waterproof watch is marked, it can only be guaranteed for one year, because the waterproof ring of the watch will be exhausted after a whole year of wear, sweat, dust, and other inevitable external factors, so a new waterproof ring must be replaced after one year, otherwise, it will not have waterproof function. Since the watch head is protruding, please try to avoid being hit. Also, pay attention to the gap between the watch head and the case. If it is too small, it will affect the operation, if it is too large, it will affect the waterproof performance, and it is not beautiful at the same time.

4. Automatic mechanical watch cleaning

Generally speaking, three to five years of oil washing is determined by the following factors: ①The sealing problem of the watch; ②The degree of wear (wearing degree) of the watch; It can be thinner or the oil washing cycle of women's watches can be longer.

5. Long-term use of the watch

If it is not placed in the suitcase with mothballs and sanitary balls, the watch oil will deteriorate, and the watch machine will be wound or worn at irregular times every month to ensure the flexibility of the internal activities.

6. Maintenance method of an automatic mechanical watch

(1) I would like to remind everyone that any watch should not be worn in warm water or in the bathroom, even if your watch is waterproof. Due to the rubber seal of the watch, it is easy to age when heated, and the surrounding water vapor molecules are relatively small, which can easily penetrate into the watch case and cause damage to the internal machinery.

(2) If the watch is deformed, it should be sent to a special watch shop for inspection immediately.

(3) Mechanical automatic watches must be worn for more than 10 hours a day with sufficient activity in order to operate normally.

(4) Different watches should be worn on different occasions, such as sports watches with excellent waterproof and shockproof performance.

(5) If the watch cover has WATERRESESTENT or 3ATM, it is generally only suitable for non-pressure water spray or light rain.

(6) Due to the different internal mechanical structures of each watch, in normal use, the error of mechanical watches or mechanical automatic watches is within 30 seconds per day (this standard is promulgated by the national ministries and commissions), while the error of quartz watches is relatively low. precise.

The above is the maintenance method for automatic mechanical watches. We are an automatic mechanical watch manufacturer with more than 10 years of experience. If you need to buy mechanical watches, please contact us.
