A watch is a technical object of daily use which, like a car, requires certain care and maintenance. Wear parts such as gaskets, crown, pushers, glass, screw connections, rivets, leather straps and batteries should be checked regularly by the wearer in order to identify possible risks and to avoid consequential damage. If your watch needs care, contact your DAVOSA dealer or send your watch to our central service address.

A DAVOSA watch should be treated with care and sent for revision (reconditioning) every three to five years, depending on the calibre, climatic conditions and the type of use to which it is subjected. Revision includes taking apart the clockwork in its entirety, chemically cleaning the individual parts, reassembling the watch and finally lubricating it. Any defects are eliminated and worn-out parts are exchanged. Every DAVOSA watch is then subjected to a series of tests after servicing. You are welcome to contact your local DAVOSA dealer for a service inspection. Alternatively, you can send your watch directly to our main service centre. Before we carry out any work, we will provide you with a cost estimate for the necessary repairs. You are then free to decide what you would like to have done.

Water resistance is not a permanent characteristic; it simply gives you the level of water resistance at the time of testing. All seals are subject to a natural ageing process, which can be greatly accelerated by aggressive organic substances such as human perspiration. It is therefore advisable to have the water resistance of your watch checked at least once a year. In the case of professional use, please have your watch checked more frequently than this general recommendation.
