What Causes Moisture to Seep Into Your Watch: Waterproof Care Tips

Watch Encyclopedia1,745

Why does the watch get into the water, want to know more about the watch waterproof knowledge can pay attention to the watch detective website. Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are precision instruments that display timekeeping functions through due diligence and still require manual care and maintenance. The only way to better play their due role is to take care of the watch with care. If the watch is ruptured, collision, water, magnetization, fall and other problems, it is best not to do it directly, and send it to a regular watch repair service center for repair.

For the watch has a slight water ingress situation, we ourselves can carry out some simple treatment on the watch to eliminate the dial water ingress, but if the movement water ingress is more serious, we need to send the watch to a professional watch repair center for cleaning.

Lay the watch flat and not shake it, but use a towel and paper towel to wick moisture away from the watch. Then check that your watch is timekeeping properly. Don't leave it too late to make the call. Usually the watch into the water there is a minute or so, into the water is lighter, serious when the water, serious is the watch movement due to water resistance, the watch can not run normally, the watch if the back transparent.

Put a small piece in a plastic bag or box after wrapping it in calcium chloride or silica gel. The watch can be taken out after half an hour. If you are severely dehydrated, you can leave it in for a day.

It is important to realize that water ingress in a watch can be "catastrophic". In addition to the core components of the watch, long-term contact with moisture will also cause discoloration, blistering and rusting of the dial and hands. Here I would like to remind you that if the watch is repeatedly exposed to water, you need to be extra careful when wearing it.

If the water ingress of the watch is serious, it should be sent to the repair center immediately, otherwise many metal parts in the movement will be oxidized and rusted by the water vapor, which will cause serious damages. Light water ingress (watch fogging) can also be done with a hair dryer used in conjunction with the watch (slow and low level)

In the case of more serious water ingress in the watch, it is important to take the watch to a watch repair store as soon as possible and remove the water from the movement part of the watch so as to avoid rusting inside the watch to damage the watch.

Watches, when water enters the watch, need to be analyzed and processed starting immediately. Utilizing desiccant and light bulb slow baking, the water vapor of the watch is processed with simple data. In order to get a complete solution, companies need to maintain the watch store management and maintenance. The untimely treatment of the watch after water ingress is prone to cause rust damage to the internal control parts such as the core plate, pins and pins, which affects the service life of the watch.

 

When you don't wear it as usual, try not to let the watch be damp to prevent the leather from deformation, even if it is a waterproof watch, you should prevent the watch from being immersed in water, and as long as the watch has been soaked (unless it is a dive watch), it is better to check it out to prevent the internal parts of the center of the body from being severely damaged due to the delay in the time. The waterproof degree of the waterproof watch will be changed with the hardening of the waterproof ring, so it is necessary to replace the waterproof ring in order. Seawater contains salt, which is corrosive to metal components, so after engaging in outdoor activities, the watch case should also be flushed with fresh water to prevent corrosion.

The above convenience is limited to a small amount of water ingress. If water ingress into the watch is serious, it is recommended that the watch be repaired at an after-sales service center in a timely manner to remove the water inside the watch, so as to avoid rusting of the internal parts of the watch, which may cause serious consequences.
