Product Care

Q. How do I set my Bausele timepiece?

A. First, make sure your timepiece is perfectly dry. Then, carefully unscrew the crown by winding it toward the “6” and pressing slightly inward until the crown loosens and pops out a bit. On some timepieces, this first position is for winding.

For watches equipped with “quick date,” pull the crown out to the first position and wind the movement until you reach the proper date. (Note: Avoid using the “quick date” method to change the date on your timepiece between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. local time. Otherwise, you risk damaging the date advance mechanism.)

To change the time, carefully pull the crown out to the second (and last) position.

Once you have made the adjustments, push the crown back into place and, depending on the model, screw the crown back down to ensure proper water resistance.

Q. How can I ensure my timepiece’s water resistance?

A. After making any adjustments to your timepiece, push the crown back in and screw the crown down to ensure water resistance. Make sure the crown is secured properly before submerging your timepiece in water. (Note: Never depress the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged.) To check the water resistance of your Bausele watch click here.

Q. How do I reset my timepiece’s power reserve?

A. When an automatic mechanical timepiece is not worn for a certain amount of time, the power reserve (42-48 hours depending on the model) is depleted and the timepiece will stop. To restart the timepiece, unscrew the crown and wind the movement by turning the crown 30-40 times. This will give your timepiece a sufficient power reserve to function normally.

Q. How do I set my timepiece with quick date?

A. To prevent damage to the date advance mechanism, avoid changing the date on your timepiece between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. local time.

Q. How long will my leather band last?

A. Bausele leather straps are made with the finest quality leather. Under normal conditions and use, a strap will last an average of 6 to 12 months depending on the conditions to which it is exposed. For instance, contact with water or any other liquid may result in premature wear. By avoiding such damage, and taking good care of it, your leather strap may last longer than average. For further care instructions click here

Q. Can strong magnetic fields affect my timepiece?

A. Magnetic fields, if especially strong, can adversely influence the movement of both quartz and mechanical timepieces. To prevent this from happening, avoid leaving timepieces near equipment that can create a strong magnetic field such as speakers, refrigerators, and mobile phones. These devices may affect the performance of your timepiece.
