What steps are taken to replace a battery?
Most of our products are water-resistant. Special care is needed every time a water-resistant watch is opened, even to replace the battery. In order to change the battery, we go through a lengthy process, totaling 27 individual steps performed by an accomplished watchmaker. Some key steps include: • Clean case and bracelet. • Measurement of the lower working voltage (the “electrocardiogram” of a quartz watch, so to speak). • Timing test on quartz timer. • Replacement of gaskets and crown (if needed). • Check proper fit of case back and gasket seat. • Water resistancy test on water-resistant models.
