Read on if you would like to know how to take care of an expensive wristwatch in 5 simple ways. 

Store Your Expensive Wristwatch Properly 

If you own a wristwatch, the last thing you want to do is have it randomly sitting around. Not only does this increase the chances of the wristwatch getting misplaced, but also increases the chances of it getting damaged. Getting a great place to store your wristwatch helps you avoid this.  

The box that your wristwatch comes in is a great place to store it. You could also get special cases and holders too. If you are getting a special case or holder, you’d want to invest in a waterproof one for extra protection.  

Once you are not wearing your wristwatch, it should be in its box.  

Always Clean Your Expensive Watches Regularly 

Carefully cleaning your expensive wristwatches is something you want to always do. Not only does this keep your watch looking good and in top shape, but it also helps reduce the devaluation of the watch over time. 

Cleaning your expensive timepieces doesn’t have to be a stressful, or expensive affair. Simply using a clean, soft cloth and some soapy water can get the job done. With more expensive watches though, you might want to invest in a quality watch cleaning kit. 

Ensure to clean your watch every time you take it off and before you place it back into whatever storage unit you place it in. You would also want to clean watches not in use periodically to ensure they remain of premium quality. 

Be Conscious of your watch's resistance to water 

Expensive wristwatches like the Oris Watches in Wollongong often have a level of water resistance. The degree to which these wristwatches are resistant to water, however, varies. It is important to know the level of water resistance of your watch and act accordingly. Ensure not to push your wristwatch past its water resistance capabilities. As a rule, we always recommend that you expose your wristwatch to as little water as possible, just to be safe. And always clean your watch after exposing it to water.   

Service your wristwatch often  

You don't want your wristwatch failing on you when you need it. To ensure this never happens, make sure you get to service your wristwatch regularly. This should be done every time you notice any issues with the watch. You should also ensure to service your watch at least 1 every 2-3 years, even if it has a long-year of warranty and they don’t seem to have developed any faults. This will help make sure your watch remains in prime condition way longer than you could ever imagine. Take it to experts and they would help you in servicing it properly.
