Boex Watch Care Guide: Preserve Your Timepiece Legacy
Crafted for collectors who value stories, not just seconds.
At Boex, we curate watches born of heritage and craftsmanship — each a companion for your journey. True appreciation begins with mindful care. This guide unlocks simple rituals to protect your investment and legacy.
🛡️ Daily Wisdom: Guard the Details
- ❗️ Avoid Impacts & Scratches
Door frames and gym equipment leave battle scars. Defense tactic: Store in a padded box when not worn. - 🧲 Magnetic Field Defense
Phones and speakers hijack accuracy. Golden rule:Keep 12 inches (30cm) between your watch and electronics. - 🧪 Chemical Warfare Alert
Perfume and chlorine eat seals and straps. Pro move:Apply skincare first → wait 10 mins → wear watch. - 🌡️ Temperature Extremes
Saunas melt gaskets; freezing cold thickens oils. Survival tip: Remove your watch before hot tubs or snowstorms.
✨ Cleaning Rituals: Gentle Revival
For All Watches:
→ Microfiber cloth + dampened with water(wring until nearly dry!)
→ Never household cleaners!
→ Dust crevices with a soft makeup brush.
Strap-Specific Care:
- 💼 Leather Straps:
🛑 WATER IS FATAL!Blot sweat with dry cloth. Monthly: massage with leather balm. - ⛓️ Metal Bracelets:
Remove & scrub with soft toothbrush + mild soap → instant rinse → dry thoroughly (check water resistance first!). - 🎽 NATO Fabric:
Hand wash in cool water → flat air dry. ☀️ Avoid sun bleaching! - 🛟 Rubber Straps:
Rinse under tap → pat dry. 🛑 Alcohol = Brittle decay!
💧 Water Resistance: The Naked Truth
- ❗️ 30m ≠ 30m Depth!
Reality check: 30m resists rain/splashes. Swim-proof: 50m+. Real diving: 200m+. - ⏳ Silent Killer: Aging Gaskets
Heat/chemicals/time crack rubber seals. ⚠️ NON-NEGOTIABLE: Annual pressure tests! - 🔒 Survival Commandments:
→ NEVER touch buttons/crown underwater
→ Post-ocean: freshwater rinse ASAP
→ ☁️ STEAM ROOMS = DEATH SENTENCE
⚙️ Movement Longevity Secrets
Mechanical Watches:
- ⏱️ Manual Wind: 30 gentle turns daily → STOP if stiff!
- 🔄 Automatic Wind: Unworn? Use a multi-directional watch winder.
- 🩺 Service Rhythm:Full overhaul every 3-5 years (oils/gears/seals renewal).
Quartz Watches:
- 🔋 Battery Emergencies:
Replace WITHIN 72 HOURS of stopping → leaking batteries melt movements! - 🛠️ Critical Combo:Every battery change = New gaskets + Pressure test.
- 📅 Service Cadence: Movement check with battery swap → full service at 5 years.
📦 Long-Term Storage Protocol
- 📍 Location: Cool, dark, dry bunker (away from speakers/fridges!).
- 🔋 Prep Work:
→ Mechanical: Wind down fully
→ Quartz: Remove battery - 🔍 Post-Hibernation Check: Wear 3 days → verify precision.
