An automatic watch winds itself up through the movements of the wrist. The rotor inside
converts the movement into energy that powers the watch.

Yes, after a longer period of not wearing the watch, it may be necessary to wind the watch
manually a few times using the crown until the movement starts working again.

Automatic movements have a time deviation of approximately -20 to +40 seconds per day.
This deviation is normal and depends on temperature, wearing habits, and storage.

The power reserve is approximately 38 to 50 hours, depending on the model. After that,
the watch stops and must be wound again or worn.

A watch winder is not absolutely necessary, but it is practical if you don't wear the watch for
an extended period of time. It keeps the movement running and prevents it from stopping.

Avoid strong shocks, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. Clean the case and
bracelet regularly with a soft cloth and have the watch serviced every 3-5 years.

Most automatic models are water-resistant (3 to 10 ATM). Please refer to the information
on the case back and the respective manual.

We recommend a service every 3 to 5 years. During this service, the movement is cleaned,
oiled, and checked for accuracy to ensure the longevity of the watch.

Yes, strong magnetic fields (e.g., loudspeakers, tablets, induction cooktops) can impair
the accuracy of a watch. A demagnetized watch will run normally again.
