What to do if water gets into a Tudor watch?

　　Tudor's universally acclaimed watchmaking craftsmanship leaves every watch enthusiast in awe. However, in our daily lives, if water accidentally gets inside a Tudor watch, how should we handle it? Below, we introduce several methods for dealing with water ingress in Tudor watches for your reference.

　　Methods for Handling Water Ingress in Tudor Watches

　　Method One for Handling Water Ingress in Tudor Watches: Using Silica Gel Desiccant Granules

　　If water has accidentally entered the case, you can place a granular substance called silica gel together with the water-logged watch inside a sealed container. After several hours, take the watch out, and all the accumulated water will have disappeared. This method is simple and economical, and causes no damage to the watch's accuracy or lifespan. Silica gel that has absorbed water multiple times can be dried at 120°C for several hours to regenerate its water-absorbing capacity, allowing it to be reused repeatedly.

　　Method Two for Handling Water Ingress in Tudor Watches: Using an Electric Light Bulb for Thermal Drying

　　If the water ingress is not severe and there is only a layer of mist inside the watch glass, you can wrap the watch tightly with several layers of toilet paper or moisture-absorbing flannel and bake it at a distance of 15 cm from a 40-watt light bulb for about 30 minutes to eliminate the moisture. Avoid placing the crystal close to an open fire for direct heating, as this may cause the crystal to deform from the heat.

　　Method Three for Handling Water Ingress in Tudor Watches: Wearing the Watch Upside Down

　　You can wrap a small piece of calcium chloride (Figure 1) securely in gauze; then remove the watch case back, and seal the gauze-wrapped calcium chloride and the electronic watch together inside a plastic bag or box. After waiting half a day, you can take the watch out and see that the condensation inside the electronic watch has vanished. If the water ingress is more severe, it can be left for a whole day.

　　Method Four for Handling Water Ingress in Tudor Watches: Sending it to a Watch Repair Shop for Servicing

　　If the 3 methods introduced above fail to remove the moisture, the watch should be taken to a workshop immediately for cleaning and oiling to remove moisture from the movement and prevent the components from rusting.

　　Repair Method for Water Ingress in Tudor Watches: The only effective method for dealing with water ingress in a Tudor watch is to open the case back, service the movement inside, and then lubricate each movement component. Water entering the watch causes moisture to touch the internal movement parts, thereby risking rust formation. Therefore, repairing a Tudor watch with water ingress involves not only clearing the internal steam but also maintaining the movement to prevent the hazard of component rusting.
