The Case and Bracelet

The case and bracelet will undergo a meticulous refinishing process, aiming to restore them as closely as possible to the original factory finish. Subsequently, the case components will receive a thorough cleaning using ultrasonic technology to eliminate any dirt, grime, or polishing compound from the surfaces. This ensures not only a renewed aesthetic appeal but also a pristine, polished surface for your timepiece.

New Seals Will Be Replaced

Our watch maintenance includes the replacement of seals to enhance water resistance. Subsequently, each watch undergoes meticulous testing to ensure its capability to withstand water pressure.

This crucial step is paramount in guaranteeing the watch’s long-term durability and resilience against environmental factors, ensuring its continued excellent condition, even in challenging circumstances.
