TIMEPIECE CARE & HANDING GUIDE

Thank you for choosing a vintage timepiece from Ultra Jewels. To help you preserve its beauty and performance, we’ve outlined some essential care and maintenance practices below.

Everyday Care and Precautions

Gentle Handling: Always handle your vintage watch with care. Avoid sudden shocks, dropping, or heavy impacts that could harm both the exterior and delicate internal components.
Chemical Exposure: Keep your watch away from chemicals such as perfumes, cleaning products, and lotions, which can cause discoloration or deterioration of the case and strap materials.
Magnetic Interference: Protect your timepiece from magnetic fields, including those emitted by household devices like speakers, laptops, and smartphones, as they can disrupt the accuracy of the time keeping components

Protection Against Water and Moisture

Water Exposure Warning: Regardless of any water resistance markings, we recommend avoiding all contact with water. The seals in vintage watches may weaken over time, increasing the risk of moisture damage.
Avoid Humid Environments: Remove your watch before swimming, showering, or entering high-humidity spaces such as steam rooms or saunas to safeguard its integrity.

Cleaning and Maintenance Best Practices

Routine Cleaning: Gently wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain its finish and performance.
Scheduled Professional Service: For optimal functioning, have your timepiece inspected and serviced by a professional watchmaker approximately every 3 to 5 years. Preventive maintenance helps address minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Annual Battery Check: We recommend replacing your watch’s battery once per year. This simple step prevents potential leakage and maintains reliable operation.

Manual Watches: To maintain accuracy, manually wind your watch daily by turning the crown a few rotations. Avoid over-winding, which can damage the movement.
Automatic Watches: If your automatic watch is not worn regularly, consider storing it in a watch winder to keep the mechanism active and lubricated.

Safe Storage Recommendations

Ideal Storage Conditions: Keep your watch in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, which can fade dials and degrade materials.
Scratch Prevention: When storing multiple watches, use individual pouches or a padded watch box to prevent scratches and physical damage.
