This box mimics the natural motion of your arm to keep your automatic watch running. Finally, if you do not wear your automatic watch daily, you may want to use a winding box. If you do not plan on wearing it daily, we advise you to wind the watch about three times a week to ensure continuous operation. If you plan on wearing your watch daily, you may want to manually wind it once every two weeks to keep the wheels in motion and the oil from drying out. If the power reserve is exhausted because the watch has not been worn for an extended period of time, you can wind the movement by hand (approximately 20 turns of the crown) to create an initial power reserve – but to maintain the power reserve, the watch must be worn continuously and actively. The arm movement causes a rotor inside the watch to transmit motion (energy) to the barrel, thus winding the mainspring.Īn important feature of every automatic watch is its 'power reserve' – the amount of time it can remain idle before the mainspring uncoils and the movement runs out of power. Mechanical watches with automatic movements have a spring that is wound by the normal, daily motion of the wearer's arm. Many agents, including steam, soap, mildew, salt water, perfume and chlorine can get into the watch, and if not cleaned immediately, the gaskets and seals can break down over time, allowing dust or moisture to penetrate the case and potentially damage the moving components of your watch.įinally, you should never pull out the crown or operate any chronograph or special function pushers/buttons on your watch when it is wet or under water. We also do not recommend you shower, enter steam rooms, or bathe while wearing your watch.

Watch seals are generally designed to withstand only casual contact with water, such as splashes of water and rain. However, unless the watch is labeled as a diver's watch, we do not recommend swimming with it. A watch that is water resistant to 3ATM, for example, is built to withstand the average pressure (3 atmospheres) occurring at 99 feet or 30 meters below the ocean's surface.Īll Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. A water-resistant watch has gaskets which together with the crown and crystal help seal the case against average water pressure at a stated pressure or depth. For best results, treat all stains/soil promptly. Please test for color fastness on inside surface before applying any solution. Repeat 2 to 3 times until stain disappears. Wipe soiled area with a soft wet cloth, then dampen a cotton ball or soft clean white cloth with the cleansing solution, and rub soiled area gently. Simply rub the natural gum gently across the soiled area until the strap/bracelet is clean.įor stains that have penetrated the surface of a white Movado BOLD strap or bracelet, organic solvents like Zymol liquid leather cleaner or Columbus gel super cleaner, a de-inking roller (ethyl alcohol and propylene ink remover) or an ethyl alcohol-based solution such as Purell hand sanitizer (62% ethyl alcohol) may be used. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be avoided.Ī natural gum rubber or “rubber cement pick-up” (found in art supply stores) may be used to remove most surface stains from a Movado BOLD coated white leather strap or white TR90/silicone bracelet.

Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800 ThermoResin™ strap or a Movado Master white rubber strap then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin™ or XTremeResin™ strap, rinse it using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances. Following exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and eventually break. While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in which you live, proper care will extend its life.
