Watch Maintenance & Care Guide
Ensure your Solis timepiece stands the test of time with proper care and maintenance.
At Solis Watches, we pride ourselves on crafting exceptional luxury timepieces built to last. To preserve their precision, elegance, and functionality, we recommend following these expert guidelines:
Routine Maintenance
- Regular Servicing: Have your watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years. This ensures the jewel bearings are re-lubricated, minimizing wear and maintaining the accuracy of the movement.
- Periodic Winding: If your watch hasn’t been worn for 38-40 hours, wind it manually with 5-10 turns of the crown to restart its mechanism and ensure smooth operation.
Water Resistance Precautions
- Secure the Crown: Always ensure the crown is completely tightened against the gasket before exposing your watch to water. This step is crucial to maintain water resistance and prevent damage to the internal components.
- Post-Exposure Care: After exposure to water, rinse your watch gently with fresh water to remove any salt, chlorine, or other residues, then dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning Your Watch
- Gentle Cleaning: Use water and a small amount of light soap to clean your watch. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish or compromise seals.
- Drying: Use a soft microfiber cloth to dry and polish your watch after cleaning to maintain its luxurious shine.
Storage Guidelines
- Humidity Control: Store your watch in a dry, cool environment to prevent damage caused by humidity or moisture. For optimal protection, consider using a watch box or case with a built-in dehumidifier.
- Avoid Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from magnetic fields, which can disrupt its movement and accuracy. Be mindful of placing it near devices like speakers, smartphones, or magnetic clasps.
- Dedicated Storage: When not in use, store your watch separately to prevent scratches. Use a soft pouch or padded watch case for added protection.
Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Precision
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme heat or cold, as significant temperature changes can affect the internal mechanisms and gaskets.
- Careful Handling: While your Solis watch is built for durability, handle it with care to prevent unnecessary knocks or impacts.
Crown Positions
The crown is a high precision part. Your watch is equipped with either a push/pull or a screw-down crown, it is fitted with seals to prevent any water penetration. Your watch is waterproof only if the crown is pushed or screwed down all the way.
The crown has 3 positions :
0 : Pushed or screwed down position
1 : Winding position
2 : Time setting position
