10 ultra-simple maintenance methods for mechanical watches

1. When wearing a watch, the sweat on the hand is corrosive to the case. The all-steel case is made of nickel-chromium alloy, which has better corrosion resistance. The semi-steel case is copper. It is in contact with sweat for a long time and is easy to corrode. Wipe the sweat with a soft cloth or put on a plastic watch to prevent it from being eroded by sweat.

The parts are not kept in a static state for a long time to ensure the running performance of the watch.

6. The ordinary mechanical watch is wet. You can use dry cotton to press on the watch, and then bake it with a 40-watt bulb for 5 minutes. The moisture in the watch can all be evaporated. If the quartz electronic watch is wet, take a few small pieces of calcium chloride and wrap it in gauze; then open the electronic watch cover and put the wrapped calcium chloride and the electronic watch together in an airtight plastic bag or glass. Inside the bottle, sealed. Generally, the moisture can be removed in about 3 hours, so that the electronic watch returns to normal. For tables with severe moisture, the moisture absorption time can be extended appropriately.

This is because the pointer of the luminous table and the luminescent material coated on the dial are mainly a mixture of radium and zinc sulfide. The radiation emitted by radium can excite the zinc sulfide crystal to emit light. When sleeping, if the watch is worn, the human body will suffer eight The nine-hour radium radiation is harmful to the human body. Therefore, before going to bed, it is best to take the luminous table and put it on the table.
