Store your watch in a winder to keep it running smoothly when not worn.
5.1 Manual Wind Watches
Manual wind Invicta watches require daily winding to maintain accuracy. Turn the crown clockwise until resistance is felt, typically 20-30 turns. This ensures proper power reserve. Unlike automatic or quartz watches, manual wind models rely solely on manual winding. Overwinding can damage the mechanism, so stop when resistance increases. Regular winding ensures precise timekeeping and extends the watch’s lifespan. Store your watch in a winder when not worn to keep it running smoothly.
5.2 Automatic Watches
Automatic Invicta watches harness kinetic energy from wrist movements to power the mechanism. For initial setup, wind the watch by turning the crown 20-30 times. Once powered, the watch runs on everyday motion. If inactive, store it in a watch winder to maintain accuracy. Avoid extreme temperatures and shocks to preserve the movement. Regular servicing is recommended to ensure longevity and optimal performance of your automatic timepiece. This self-winding feature offers convenience and elegance.
5.4 Using a Watch Winder
A watch winder is essential for maintaining the accuracy and power reserve of your Invicta automatic watch when not in use. Set the winder to rotate 650-800 times daily, mimicking natural wrist movement. Choose a bi-directional setting for optimal winding. Place the winder in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the watch’s performance and adjust settings as needed to prevent over-winding. Ensure the winder is reliable and properly powered. This helps extend the watch’s lifespan and keeps it ready for wear.
Maintenance and Care
Regularly clean your Invicta watch with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures and magnetic fields. Service your watch every 3-5 years by a certified professional to maintain accuracy and longevity. Proper care ensures your timepiece remains precise and elegant for years.
6.1 Cleaning the Watch
To maintain your Invicta watch’s appearance, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For metal bracelets, use a mild soap solution and water, then rinse thoroughly. Leather straps should only be wiped with a dry cloth to avoid moisture damage. For silicone bands, a mixture of mild soap and warm water is effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they may scratch the watch. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and ensures optimal functionality.
6.2 Storing the Watch
To preserve your Invicta watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a watch box or soft pouch to protect it from scratches.
