How to Professionally Maintain Custom Dive Watches

Custom dive watches are watches worn during diving, allowing divers to keep track of underwater time. Nowadays, many people wear custom dive watches in their daily lives as well. Custom dive watches, as diving equipment, need more than just a waterproof function. Truly professional custom dive watches require a solid case structure, the use of reinforced materials, a timing bezel design, and luminous display functions, among others. A custom dive watch usually costs quite a bit, so how do you perform professional maintenance during its use?

How to Professionally Maintain a Custom Dive Watch

Custom dive watches are functional watches used for diving. Many custom dive watches are quite valuable. After purchasing one, besides daily maintenance, you should also take note of periodic professional maintenance. This usually means sending it to a watch repair shop or contacting the brand's after-sales department for maintenance. The specific maintenance process is as follows:

1. Disassemble the custom dive watch and inspect all components.

2. Clean and replace necessary basic movement parts.

3. Lubricate and calibrate.

4. Replace the crown if necessary.

5. Replace the bezel connectors.

6. Replace the case back connectors.

7. Conduct routine quality checks.

How Much Does It Cost to Maintain a Custom Dive Watch?

Professional maintenance of a custom dive watch usually incurs a fee. The specific cost varies depending on the brand of the custom dive watch, its structure, usage, and other factors. Generally, the technician at the repair shop will provide an estimate after inspection. Maintenance for mid to high-end watch movements typically costs between 300 to 3000 yuan, and the time required is usually one working day, although some watches may need to be sent back to the original factory for repairs.

How Often Should a Custom Dive Watch Be Maintained?

Custom dive watches need regular maintenance, but how frequently should they be serviced? Generally, the maintenance cycle for ordinary watches is once every three to five years. Some brands and technologies can extend the maintenance period. However, custom dive watches are different because their waterproof rubber seals will age, thus shortening the maintenance cycle. It's recommended to service custom dive watches every two years to prolong their lifespan.

Overall, custom dive watches require regular maintenance, with a recommended cycle of every two years. They should be sent to specialized watch repair shops for servicing. The specific process includes disassembling the custom dive watch and inspecting all components, cleaning and replacing necessary basic movement parts, lubricating and calibrating, replacing parts, conducting routine quality checks, and so on. The cost of maintenance varies from 300 to 3000 yuan depending on the brand, structure, and usage of the custom dive watch.
