Watch Care Guide
Taking care of your Emerton Scott watch can help you enjoy your timepiece for years to come.
Let us guide you through a few simple steps to make sure you get the most out of your Emerton Scott timepiece.
Common Questions
Step 1/2: Unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise until it reaches the winding position. Be careful not to continue into the time-setting position.
Step 2/2: Rotate the crown approximately 30–40 full turns to fully wind the mainspring.
Please Note: To help protect the movement and maximise the long-term performance of your watch, we recommend avoiding manual winding while the watch is being worn on your wrist.
In Summary: The rotor in an automatic movement is designed to maintain the watch's power reserve through normal wear rather than fully wind it from empty. For this reason, we recommend giving the watch an initial manual wind before wearing it.
Step 1/4: Clean Regularly – Wipe your watch with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and everyday moisture.
Step 2/4: Protect Against Impacts – While built for daily wear, avoid dropping your watch or exposing it to heavy knocks that could affect the movement.
Step 3/4: Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields – Keep your watch away from powerful magnets, such as those found in speakers, magnetic clasps, and other electronic devices, as they may affect its accuracy.
Step 4/4: Service When Required – To maintain reliable performance and extend the life of your watch, we recommend having it inspected and serviced by a qualified watchmaker approximately every five years.
Step 1/3: Use a Soft Cloth – Clean your watch with a soft microfibre cloth to gently remove dust, fingerprints, and smudges without scratching the surfaces.
Step 2/3: Clean the Case – If your watch is water resistant, rinse the case with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, then dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Step 3/3: Care for the Strap
- Steel Bracelet: Wash occasionally with warm, soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely before wearing.
- Leather Strap: Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid soaking or immersing the leather in water.
Step 1/3: Ensure the Crown Is Secure – Before exposing your watch to water, always check that the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down to maintain its water resistance.
Step 2/3: Avoid Extreme Temperatures – Refrain from wearing your watch in hot showers, saunas, or similar environments, as excessive heat can reduce the effectiveness of the water-resistant seals over time.
Step 3/3: Test the Water Resistance – To help ensure continued water resistance, we recommend having the seals and water resistance professionally checked approximately every 24 months.
Step 1/3: Use a Protective Travel Case – Store your watch in a dedicated travel case or watch roll when transporting it to help protect it from knocks, scratches, and everyday wear.
Step 2/3: Store in a Suitable Environment – Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or areas with excessive heat, humidity, or rapid temperature changes, as these conditions may affect its long-term performance.
Step 3/3: Maintain During Long-Term Storage – If your watch will not be worn for an extended period, wind it occasionally to keep the movement lubricated and operating smoothly.
