How to Maintain Your Watch
Like everything in life, watches endure a significant amount of wear and tear over time. NOVE watch experts have provided some professional advice to help keep your watch in the same condition in which it was bought. Proper watch care & maintenance are important to ensure your watch functions correctly.
Important
"Be sure the crown is pushed down and screwed in tightly."
About Water Resistant
When entering the vicinity of water or moisture please ensure to keep the crown tightly wound to ensure no watch can enter. The gasket that gives your watch its water resistance grows dry and brittle over time and should be replaced when your watch is serviced. If the gasket between the case and the back of your watch has become dry, your watch is no longer waterproof. Your watch is also subject to the effects of extreme heat and cold. The case expands when exposed to heat, and moisture can enter through microscopic cracks in the case or crystal. Regular, routine service can prevent most of these problems.
Temperature: avoid exposing the watch to temperatures over 60C or 140F or lower than 0C or 32F.
Wear your watch everyday
Remember to wear your watch – More watches have been damaged by leaving them sitting in a drawer than by wearing them every day. The mechanism in a mechanical watch needs motion to keep the lubricants in place and working. Lubricants in an unused watch can dry up or migrate away from critical bearings, thereby damaging the watch’s delicate mechanism. To avoid damage to an automatic watch, place it on a watch winder when you’re not wearing it. Note that even a quartz watch can be damaged by lack of use.
WARRANTY
NOVE warrants its watches for three years from the date of purchase. If you are experiencing any issues with your watch please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at mkt@nove.com.
