Swiss Quartz Timepieces: Battery Replacement
Your watch is powered by a 1.5 volt silver oxide battery or a 3 volt lithium battery. When the battery is exhausted your watch will stop, or on models with the early warning EOL (End-Of-Life) feature, the second hand will start skipping. Be sure to replace the battery immediately with a qualified jeweler or our factory service center, as a dead battery may eventually leak and damage your watch. Under no circumstances attempt to replace the battery yourself!
Mechanical/Automatic Timepieces: Maintenance
Your Unlike battery operated watches, 25J self-winding mechanical watches do require maintenance. We recommend that you bring your mechanical timepiece in at least once every two years, to a qualified watch repair shop, to have the mechanism cleaned and oiled and all gaskets replaced. You can send your mechanical watch in to our factory service center for standard maintenance for a flat cost of $250. Any damaged parts which require replacement will be billed additionally.
