FAQs
Does the $keleton Phantom require a battery?
No, the $keleton Phantom features an automatic movement. It is powered by the motion of your wrist or can be manually wound. It does not use a battery.
What does 5 ATM water resistance mean?
5 ATM means the watch can withstand pressure equivalent to 50 meters underwater. It is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion, but not for swimming, diving, or high-pressure water activities.
How do I clean the watch?
Clean the watch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or materials.
What material is the strap made of?
The strap is made of silicone, designed for comfort and durability.
Is the black coating durable?
The black IP (Ion Plating) coating is generally durable for everyday wear. However, it can be scratched or worn over time with significant impact or abrasion. Avoid contact with hard surfaces.
What is the purpose of the skull-shaped box?
The skull-shaped box is unique gift packaging designed to enhance the presentation of the watch, aligning with Philipp Plein's bold aesthetic.
Can I wear this watch while sleeping?
While you can wear it while sleeping, it's generally recommended to take it off to allow your skin to breathe and to protect the watch from accidental impacts during sleep. If you do wear it, ensure it doesn't snag on bedding.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped ticking.
Ensure the watch has been worn recently or manually wind the crown. If the issue persists after winding, the power reserve may be depleted, or there could be an internal issue requiring professional servicing.
Inaccurate timekeeping.
Automatic watches can have a daily variation. If the inaccuracy is significant (e.g., losing or gaining several minutes per day), it may require regulation by a watchmaker. Ensure the watch is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.
Strap adjustment is difficult.
The silicone strap has several holes for adjustment. Find the most comfortable fit by threading the buckle through the appropriate hole. If the strap is too long or short, ensure you are using the available adjustment points correctly.
Condensation under the crystal.
This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from any moisture immediately and have it inspected by a professional watch repair service to check the seals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently shake it for 30 seconds or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the closed position. Be careful not to overwind.
- Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position to set the time. Once set, push the crown back in to its original position.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone automatic watch. It does not require compatibility with other devices for its core function of timekeeping.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and silicone strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the black IP coating or the silicone.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 5 ATM, avoid prolonged submersion, high-velocity water (like high-pressure hoses), and exposure to extreme temperatures. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) before exposure to water.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original skull-shaped box when not in use, to protect it from dust and scratches. If storing for a long period, consider placing it on a watch winder to maintain the movement.
