When worn, the watch winds automatically through natural arm movements. Avoid over-winding, as this can damage the mechanism. Store unworn watches in a cool, dry place, winding them monthly to prevent stagnation. Regular winding ensures accuracy and prolongs the watch’s lifespan. Always handle the crown gently to prevent damage to internal components. Proper winding habits are key to enjoying your timepiece for years to come.

To protect your Invicta watch, avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields, such as those from electronics or MRI machines, as they can affect timekeeping accuracy. Extreme temperatures, either very hot or cold, may also impact performance. Avoid placing the watch near heaters, ovens, or freezing environments. Sudden temperature changes can cause internal components to expand or contract, potentially leading to damage. Additionally, avoid submerging the watch in water if it’s not water-resistant or if the case is not properly sealed. Regular maintenance and adherence to these guidelines will ensure your watch remains precise and functional. Always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
4.5 Water Resistance Guidelines
Your Invicta watch is designed to withstand water exposure, but proper care is essential to maintain its water resistance. The watch’s water resistance rating (e.g., 100m/330ft) indicates its ability to withstand water pressure at specific depths. Avoid exposing the watch to water if the case, crown, or crystal is damaged. Never operate buttons or the crown while underwater, as this can compromise the seal. After swimming or exposure to moisture, dry the watch thoroughly, especially between the band and case. Regularly inspect and maintain the gaskets and seals to ensure water resistance. Follow these guidelines to protect your watch and preserve its reliability in wet conditions.
