Quartz Watches Rather than a wound spring (mechanical movement), quartz watches rely on a battery for their energy. Since the early 1970's, quartz watches have become very popular, for both manufacturer and consumers, due to the fact that quartz watches are less expensive than mechanical movement watches. Mechanical Movements If a watch is said to have mechanical movement, this means that the watch has a device for keeping time, which uses the energy from a wound spring, and keeps time through the highly regulated release of that energy through a set of gears and an escapement. This device must be wound periodically, ensuring that the wound spring is continually loaded to power the watch. Automatic Movements Watches that are powered by automatic movements operate similar to a watch with mechanical movements, except that the winding of the spring occurs automatically, every time the wearer moves his or her arm. A rotor that turns in response to motion winds the watch's mainspring, supplying the needed energy to power the watch.
A chronograph is a watch that has a stopwatch function. Typically, the top pusher will start and stop the chronograph. The bottom pusher will reset it. The Chronometer on the other hand, is a special certification test that is usually accorded to chronographs after they have been subjected to a series of rigorous tests. It is accorded by a Swiss agency, METAS. All chronographs are not chronometer certified. If a watch is described simply as a “chrono”, it is generally safe to assume it is a chronograph.
This depends on the age of the watch and the types of functions (e.g., stopwatch, chronograph applications, alarms, second hand, etc.). Expect to replace your watch battery every one to one and a half years.
A watch crystal is a transparent glass which protects the watch dial, it is mostly used by Swiss manufacturers. Most of the watches produced by luxury Swiss brands use sapphire as it is tough and scratch resistant to a great extent.
A watch marked as water resistant without a depth indication is designed to withstand accidental splashes of water only. Do not submerge such a watch. Higher levels of water resistance are indicated by increasingly higher acceptable depths, usually indicated in meters. There are a variety of ways to make a watch water resistant. All such watches use rubber gaskets or "O" rings to seal the case back. A watch with a back that screws onto the case provides a higher degree of water resistance. Some crowns (the "winding stem") actually screw into the case to further increase water resistance.
The best way to clean your watch is by using a lint-free cloth. Use the toothpick to clean out any dirt buildup in the bracelet or casing of the watch and the cloth to wipe it clean. If it is water-resistant, give it an occasional cleaning with a mixture of warm water and a mild soap. If the strap is leather or non-metal, clean only the case. For a proper polishing of the case, we recommend taking the watch to an authorised service centre of the brand.
a) It is not recommended to wear your water resistant watch in a hot shower, sauna or hot tub. The extreme heat causes the metal parts to expand and can create small openings that can allow water droplets to penetrate the watch. Sudden temperature changes are especially harsh. Take care not to jump into a cold pool after wearing your watch in the hot tub. b) After swimming or diving in salt water, immediately rinse the watch in a stream of fresh water. If your watch has a rotating bezel, turn the bezel several times while rinsing it. This will prevent salt buildup and corrosion of the bezel ring. c) Leather straps can be made to be water resistant. Generally however, leather straps are more easily damaged by frequent exposure to water. If you would like to wear your watch while swimming - think of buying one with a metal bracelet or a rubber or nylon diver strap.
In every watch, there are several gaskets: a back gasket, a crystal gasket, a bezel gasket, and a crown gasket to name just a few. These watch gaskets are made of specialty rubber or neoprene, and sometimes from plastic for crystals. Watches have gaskets because they protect your watch from things like dust, water, perfume, oils, dirt, and other residues that wristwatches are exposed to.
