Mechanical watches must be maintained

Today, a lady's watch on the subway is the gold watch of the OMEGA constellation series, but the gold material looks very dark and the watch also loses its advanced sense. Friends and chat about this problem, he phrase: lack of maintenance. So today, talk to you about why mechanical watches must be maintained.

Appearance

The appearance of the maintenance well understood, the most direct reason, the appearance of maintenance is to maintain the appearance of good-looking. Because many watches are used gold, senior animal leather and other materials, although gold is the main raw material of gold, but the hands sweat is acidic and corrosion of the air for a long time, it is far from new beautiful, which requires frequent cleaning and polishing, to keep watch changxin. In fact, not only watches, a lot of luxury goods, such as bags, jewelry and so on, also need maintenance. In some large shopping malls, you can see the luxury maintenance department.

In order to look deeper, besides the beauty of watches and the price of watches in the second hand market, we all know that the quality of the watch is very important in the secondary market. Of course, the most fundamental reason is because the famous mechanical watches are generally valuable, belonging to valuables, not casually discarded things. Some people might say I don't care so much, but wearing an expensive watch makes people feel a bit less advanced, and that's not always the case.

waterproof

If the watch is only for beauty, it is not a big problem as long as the wearer accepts it subjectively, just as someone in the world likes to dress up and someone doesn't love it. But watch maintenance is important, because it can extend the life of watches. First of all, watch waterproof, now most watches have a certain waterproof function, but the grades are different. It's important to correctly understand the meaning of water depth, for example, 30 meters waterproof just say you wash your face and splash water is no problem. And 100 meters or even higher waterproof just shows you can wear it swimming or diving and so on.

It must be noted that no waterproof mechanical watch can not wear a sauna or a hot bath. This is because the cushion glue after cold, hot air into the sealed capsule, can not come out, causing the fog not timely treatment, causing corrosion, rust. I've heard friends say they do this, and watch is good, but if you do that for a long time, you can look at it again, and there's still a problem. In addition, watch waterproof mainly by several small rubber ring role, while the rubber rubber is aging, a long time will cause loss of elasticity, watch the gap, it may lead to water intake, so the sealing rubber ring to ensure the regular replacement of waterproof watches. It can be said that a good mechanical watch can be handed down from generation to generation, but the life of a small part is not eternal, and sometimes, after sale is more important.

Operation principle

Pay attention to our title, we emphasize the mechanical table, so we have to talk about the operation principle of the mechanical watch. Men who love machines know that any mechanical instrument is inflexible for a long time, and the watch is the same, because the watch itself is a small mechanical instrument. The traditional mechanical watches, mainly composed of four parts, the first part is the simple understanding is, we often say a part, the second part is the transmission, the gear is mainly used to measure the transmission ratio at a certain time, the third part is the escapement speed adjusting system, it can be said that this is part of the heart and watch the balance wheel hairspring, escapement fork escapement of these components is the key, most decided to watch as accurate, the fourth part is the indicator system, if the motor is part of this section is the part that connects people and watch, people need to use this section to wind or adjust the time.

In fact, the whole watch doesn't operate in a single way, and it requires all systems to cooperate, where the oil is critical. As time goes on, the amount of oil will be reduced or dried up, and then the watch will need to be oiled again. And if not in time to watch oil, once the oil dry, the power system is in dry wear, a few years down, the life of this table also arrived.

Expensive mechanical watches need to be maintained in order to maintain its beauty and extend its service life. But pay attention to, must be in the regular place for maintenance, in order to prevent the appearance of the more bad watch faster. Remind you to understand the after-sales service when buying watches.
