What's included

Every Battery Service, Done Properly.

Case-back and crown gaskets inspected and replaced as needed, then freshly lubricated.

Function Check

How it works

A Careful Battery Service, Start to Finish.

01

Bring It In

Walk in or send it insured. No appointment needed for battery work.

02

Open & Inspect

The case is opened under magnification and the movement and seals assessed.

03

Replace & Seal

Fresh cell and gaskets fitted, then the case is closed to factory torque.

04

Pressure Test

Water resistance confirmed and the reading noted before it's handed back.

Why it matters

A New Battery Breaks the Seal. We Put It Back.

Opening a case exposes the movement to air, dust, and moisture. Most jewelers snap the back on and hand it over. Without a fresh gasket and a pressure test, a watch rated for the pool can fail at the sink.

That's why pressure testing is standard here, never an upsell. You leave knowing exactly how water-resistant your watch is today, not how it was rated years ago.

  • Dry and wet testing on every water-resistant watch
  • Documented reading you can keep on file
  • Backed by our service guarantee

Questions

Good to Know Before You Come In.

Do I need an appointment?+

No. Battery and pressure testing are walk-in services. After inspecting the watch, the watchmaker will explain the appropriate service and any needed testing.

Why does a pressure test cost extra?+

The test itself uses specialist equipment and a full cycle of dry and wet measurement. A plain battery swap on a non-water-resistant dress watch doesn't require it, so we don't charge for what your watch doesn't need.

Can you service Rolex and other luxury quartz?+

Yes. Our watchmakers are WOSTEP certified and hold brand authorizations. Screw-down and specialist cases are opened with the correct tooling and resealed to factory specification.

What if my watch still won't run?+

If a fresh cell doesn't bring it back, the movement likely needs service. We'll diagnose it on the spot and credit the battery toward a full overhaul if you choose to proceed.
