Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tonneau case?
Tonneau means "barrel" in French. The case has curved sides that taper at the top and bottom, creating an oval-like silhouette. It's a classic shape in fine watchmaking, rarely seen at accessible price points.
Does this watch need a battery?
No — the automatic movement self-winds through the natural motion of your wrist. Wear it daily and it stays powered indefinitely.
What if I don't wear it for a few days?
The watch will stop if left unworn. Shake it gently or wind the crown manually 20–30 turns to restart it.
Is the silicone strap comfortable?
Yes — lightweight, flexible, and hypoallergenic. Handles sweat and daily activity without issue.
Is this water resistant?
3ATM — splash and rain resistant. Not suitable for swimming or showering.
