How to maintain an automatic mechanical watch?

　　Although automatic mechanical watches do not contain batteries, some simple and straightforward maintenance is still very necessary. This will be extremely helpful in extending the service life of the watch and maintaining a good movement condition.

　　Automatic mechanical watch maintenance methods

　　If you wear your automatic mechanical watch every day, the best maintenance method is to wind the mainspring every two weeks to ensure that its gears operate smoothly and normally. Gently rotate the crown (which can also be used to adjust the time and date) until you can feel a slight resistance.

　　If you do not wear your automatic mechanical watch every day, you should ensure that it is wound at least once every two weeks to guarantee the continuous operation of the watch, thereby ensuring the normal and accurate functioning of the internal mechanical components.

　　It is best to wind your mechanical watch at the same time every day. This practice is extremely beneficial for the internal mechanism. If you wish to establish a routine, it is recommended that you wind your cherished watch every morning after getting up.

　　Do not set the date and day indicators during the night (if your watch features these functions). The mechanical mechanisms controlling the date and day have a clearance period during the night, and if you alter the settings during this time, you are bound to disrupt the established sequence.

　　It is also recommended that you do not wear an automatic mechanical watch while participating in sports that involve continuous arm swinging (such as tennis, baseball, golf, etc.), as the constant motion can damage the watch's movement.

　　Precautions for watch usage

　　1, avoid bringing the watch close to magnetic clasps

　　Regardless of the model or high value, Noob factory watches are vulnerable to magnetic fields. For mechanical watches, the movement is the most susceptible to magnetic interference; while quartz watches do not have as many steel components, they are still significantly affected. Regarding this issue, men in particular should note not to place their watches near belt buckles, while women should keep their watches away from magnetic clasps on handbags.

　　2, wearing the watch while bathing or swimming

　　Although some replica watches from the N-factory can be worn while diving, they are in the minority. Standard watches can be worn while washing, but they cannot withstand prolonged immersion. Therefore, please do not wear your watch while swimming or bathing, and certainly do not take it into a sauna; the high temperatures will cause the watch to oxidise.

　　3, never taking it to a professional service centre for maintenance.

　　Watches are items subject to wear and tear. To ensure a longer lifespan, they must be taken to after-sales service for professional maintenance and servicing. As for how often maintenance is required, please consult the after-sales staff.

　　4, failing to keep the watch wound or remove the battery when it is not in use.

　　When you do not wish to wear your watch, remember to wind it fully or remove the battery. For mechanical watches, it is also necessary to clean and oil the interior to prevent the internal lubricants from drying out. For watches that have not been worn for a long time, perform the aforementioned maintenance monthly to ensure the watch maintains its operational performance when you do wear it.
