Find out what types of automatic watches exist

Whatever the type of automatic watch, all are characterized by operating with the movement of our arm. Automatic watches include a rotor that is activated by the movement of the wrist and which in turn winds the mainspring of the watch. According to this, when the position of the wrist changes or sudden movements are made, the rotor of the movement rotates and charges the watch through a gear.

The spring is a kind of spring that, when the watch is wound, winds up to a maximum stop, and as it unwinds, it provides movement to the hands.

Automatic watches are charged just by wearing them. However, when they are no longer used, the watch will most likely stop and that is where it is important to give it a little wind to start it.

There are many factors that can affect the performance of automatic watches. Surely we have experienced situations that put you at risk. Perhaps we have dropped our watch in the sea or a pool, or it has been exposed to some chemical substance, among others.

Dust, traces of dirt and/or sweat must be prevented from accumulating on the watch.  To clean the automatic watch, wipe it with a cloth moistened with lukewarm water and immediately dry it with a dry cloth.
