Repair and maintenance

The time of your PERRELET watch can be set by pulling the crown out to the stop second position, the time setting position. As each model has its own functions, for more details we recommend that you download the instruction manual in the section SERVICE > MANUALS.

Before the first use, or if you stop to wear your watch for several days and if it has stopped, you will need to wind it manually in order to recharge the power reserve to its maximum. To wind your automatic watch manually, you will need to turn the crown clockwise (in position A – normal wear position) at least 45 times. “Normal” wear for a 12-hour period ensures a power reserve of at least 24 hours. So if your automatic watch has not been used for a certain time, make sure your hand-wind it fully before wearing it.

For further information please consult the instruction manual you can download in the section SERVICE > MANUALS.

All PERRELET watches are water-resistant from 5ATM to 30ATM, depending on the model. Please consult the instruction manual of your watch to determine the water-resistance of your model and its conditions of use.

In order to ensure that your watch is water-resistant, after each adjustment of the time, date or other functions it is important to press the crown to ensure it has returned to its initial (closed) position.
