How to maintain the mechanical watch movement
March 22, 2022Watches are one of the indispensable tools in our lives, and many people have the habit of wearing them for travel. Among the watches, the most valuable ones are mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are more careful in use than quartz watches, especially the movement of mechanical watches. Today, the watch house will introduce to you how to maintain the mechanical watch movement!
Wear it normally, avoid vibration
Appropriate amount of activity can make it continue to wind up and run normally (the wearer may walk slowly when the activity is small, which is a normal phenomenon.
When using for the first time, please rotate the crown 20-30 times to make the mainspring initially wound). Although the watch is shockproof, the tip of the pendulum shaft or the journal of the gear train may be easily broken when the external impact force is strong, and the speed needle may also vibrate. Affect travel time. Within the scope of economic capacity, you may wish to replace two or three watches in daily life: wear a mechanical watch when you are statically active, and wear a quartz watch when you are engaged in sports.
Prevent magnetization
Although the watch is made of non-magnetic material that is not easy to be magnetized, it is greatly affected by the magnetic field, such as the magnetic buckle on the TV, radio speakers, backpack or leather bag.
Waterproof watch
Please try not to take the watch to swim or wash clothes. Once it gets wet or wet in the rain, you cannot pull out the crown to adjust the watch at this time, but wipe it dry immediately. The sea water is also untouchable.
Even if the waterproof watch is marked, it can only have a one-year waterproof guarantee, because the waterproof ring of the watch will be worn out after a whole year of wear and tear, plus various unavoidable external factors such as sweat and dust, it will definitely be tired, so after a year It must be replaced with a new waterproof ring, otherwise it will not have waterproof function. Since the crown head is relatively protruding, try to avoid it from being bumped. Also, pay attention to the gap between the crown head and the case. If it is too small, it will affect the operation, and if it is too large, it will affect the waterproof performance, and it is not beautiful at the same time.
Watch cleaning
Generally speaking, 3 to 5 years of oil washing is determined by the following factors: ①The sealing problem of the watch ②The wearing degree of the watch (the degree of wear) ③The quartz watch can prolong the washing cycle ④The men’s watch or pocket watch can be thinner Or the oil-washing cycle of women's watches is long.
Long-term non-use of the watch
If it is not placed in a suitcase with mothballs and sanitary balls, it will deteriorate the oil of the watch and make the watch machine inaccurate. It is wound or worn every month to ensure flexible internal activities.
