FAQs

How do I set the time on my Raymond Weil Freelancer?

Use the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time. The watch features an automatic movement; however, you can wind it manually by turning the crown.

How do I use the GMT function?

Align the rotating city track with your local time zone. The 24-hour scale will then indicate the time in other zones. Adjust it as per the manual provided.

Can I swim with my Raymond Weil Freelancer?

While the watch is water-resistant, it's recommended to avoid swimming or prolonged water exposure to protect the leather strap and movement. Check the specific water resistance rating in the manual.

How do I care for the leather strap?

Clean the strap with a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to water and direct sunlight. Apply leather conditioner to maintain its quality.

How often should I have my watch serviced?

It is recommended to have your watch serviced by a professional watchmaker every 3-5 years to ensure accuracy and prolong the life of the movement.

Where can I get my watch serviced?

How do I wind the watch?

The watch features an automatic movement, so it winds itself. However, you can wind it manually by turning the crown clockwise.

Troubleshooting

Check if the watch has been fully wound (if manual winding) or if it has sufficient power reserve (automatic). If the problem persists, have the watch serviced by a professional watchmaker.
