FAQs
How often do I need to wind the watch?
To maintain accurate time, it's best to wear the watch daily. If you don't wear it for more than 42 hours, it will stop. You can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times.
Is the watch waterproof?
The specific water resistance rating should be checked on the product details. Generally, automatic watches are not suitable for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated with a high water resistance rating (e.g., 100m or more) and should avoid operating the crown when wet.
What does 'automatic movement' mean?
An automatic movement is a type of mechanical watch movement that is powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist. It winds itself through an oscillating rotor inside the watch. It does not require a battery.
How do I clean my Series 8 watch?
Clean the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure you dry it thoroughly afterwards. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the power reserve of this watch?
The Series 8 Automatic - 41mm - Silver has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours once fully wound.
Will magnetic fields affect my watch?
This watch features antimagnetic properties up to 16,000 A/m, offering good protection. However, prolonged exposure to very strong magnetic fields can still affect accuracy. If you suspect this, seek professional demagnetization.
Does the watch have a date display?
The product description focuses on the design and movement, but typically watches in this style may include a date complication. Please refer to the specific model's feature list for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the crown clockwise 20-30 times while closed. If worn regularly, ensure it's not left unworn for more than 42 hours. Check if the power reserve is depleted.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Mechanical watches can experience minor variations. If significant, ensure it's fully wound. Avoid strong magnetic fields. If issues persist, professional servicing might be needed.
Scratch on the crystal
Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, but not scratch-proof. Minor surface scratches may be difficult to remove. Deep scratches may require professional repair or replacement of the crystal.
Difficulty setting time or date
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting the time or date. Consult the user manual for precise crown operations. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a mechanical automatic watch, the Series 8 requires initial winding to start. To do this, gently shake the watch back and forth for about 30 seconds, or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise about 20-30 times while it is in the closed position (pushing the crown in).
Compatibility: This watch is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not require connection to other devices for its core function. It is designed for wrist wear.
Care:
- Winding: To ensure optimal performance, wear the watch daily or manually wind it if it has stopped. If the watch stops, fully wind it before setting the time.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, or ultrasonic cleaners, especially if it has a leather strap.
- Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating for this model. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after exposure to salt water.
- Magnetic Fields: While the watch has antimagnetic properties (up to 16,000 A/m), avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect accuracy. If you suspect magnetic interference, demagnetization may be required by a professional.
