Service
Regular servicing of your Modul is essential to maintain its optimal performance and longevity. Over time, the delicate components can experience wear, and proper maintenance ensures accurate timekeeping and the smooth operation of its intricate mechanisms. Here are the key points regarding the service of your Modul mechanical watch:
-
Recommended Service Interval: For a watch worn daily we recommend service every 7-10 years. Regular servicing allows for the inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement, ensuring its proper functioning. If you wear your watch only on occasion we recommend service every 15-20 years or when you start to notice deviation in the timekeeping.
-
Professional Watchmaker: When it comes to servicing your Modul, it is crucial to entrust the task to a qualified and experienced watchmaker. Authorized service centers or certified watchmakers with expertise in Seiko mechanical movements are equipped with the necessary tools, knowledge, and genuine replacement parts to perform reliable servicing.
-
Comprehensive Inspection: During a watch service, the watchmaker will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the movement, case, crystal, crown, and other components. They will assess the overall condition, identify any issues, and recommend the appropriate repairs or adjustments. This thorough examination helps address potential problems early on and prevents further damage.
-
Cleaning and Lubrication: A vital aspect of watch servicing involves cleaning and lubricating the intricate mechanical parts. The watchmaker will disassemble the movement, clean each component using specialized solutions, and carefully lubricate the essential points to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. This meticulous process helps maintain accurate timekeeping and prolongs the life of the watch.
-
Timing Adjustment and Regulation: Timekeeping accuracy is crucial for a mechanical watch. During servicing, the watchmaker will assess the watch's timing performance, adjust the balance wheel, and regulate the movement to achieve optimal accuracy within acceptable tolerances. This meticulous calibration ensures that your watch keeps time as accurately as possible.
-
Water Resistance Testing: If your watch is water-resistant, it will undergo water resistance testing as part of the service. This involves subjecting the watch to specific pressure conditions to ensure its ability to withstand water ingress. If necessary, the watchmaker will replace worn gaskets or perform any required adjustments to maintain its water-resistant properties.
-
Documentation and Warranty: After servicing your mechanical watch, the watchmaker should provide you with detailed documentation, including a service record, description of the work performed, and any warranties associated with the service. Retaining these records is important for future reference and can help in maintaining the watch's value and authenticity.
By following the recommended service intervals and entrusting your mechanical watch to qualified professionals, you ensure its proper care and maintenance. Regular servicing not only keeps your Modul in optimal condition but also preserves its value and allows you to enjoy its precision and beauty for years to come.
