How do I operate the GMT function?

Please see the attached GMT manual on how to operate your watch’s GMT function.

Is the ceramic bezel polished? Does it have a shine or flat?

It’s a glossy ceramic bezel, well polished and very beautiful.

How many jewels are in your movements?

Most of our movements use 25/26 jewels as per standard ETA 2824 or Sellita SW200 configurations.

I have a very thin/wide wrist. Will the watch fit my wrist?

The maximum wrist size is 20.5 cm (8.07 inches), but additional links are available. In order to make the bracelet smaller, you can always take a few links off.

What kind of steel is it made from?

This Swiss Automatic watch is made of stainless steel 316L (surgical/marine-grade).

Can you swim with it?

Every watch undergoes testing before being shipped to ensure quality. However, water-resistance is not a permanent feature and should be tested annually to maintain its effectiveness. The different ATM ratings specify the appropriate uses for each watch.

What is the movement’s power reserve?

In most of our models and under optimal conditions, the power reserve is around 38-42 hours.

Do the watches have a screw-down crown?

Our Divers and most of our automatic watches have a screw-down crown, while our quartz watches use either a screw-down or a push/pull crown.

What movement is used in DAVOSA automatic watches?

Our movements are based on ETA (2824) or Selita (SW 200) movements on which we make a few modifications and improvements from their standard configuration. You can find the movement used in your specific model on your delivery note/invoice, the label on the watch as well as the back number of the watch (i.e. XXXX-200 or XXXX-2824).
