Service FAQ

You can find information about the movements in the model description on our website.

The power reserve of our models varies, between 40 and 70 hours. You can find the exact information in the model description on our website.

The date on your watch can be changed using the crown or, on certain models, using a pusher. It is important that the date is not changed between 22h00 and 2h00. You can find exact details in our User Manual.

It is best to take your watch to one of our authorized service centers to have the rate checked. If the movement has been magnetized, it can be demagnetized within a short time. Click here to find your nearest NORQAIN Service Center.

Movements should be serviced regularly to ensure that they function perfectly. We cannot give exact service intervals as this depends entirely on the watch model, the climate, the wearing habits and the careful handling of the watch by its owner. The guideline for servicing a watch movement is around four to six years.

The normal activities of daily life are sufficient to wind an automatic watch. However, inactive people, such as the elderly or bedridden patients, may not move enough to keep the watch wound. In these cases, it should be sufficient to turn the crown a few turns clockwise to wind it.

We use sapphire crystal as standard for every NORQAIN watch. The hardness of sapphire is around 2500 Vickers and is relatively scratch resistant for normal day-to-day use. However, scratches can occur on contact with harder materials (such as quartz sand, granite or diamond).

It is made of NORTEQ® material, an innovative composite product made of carbon fiber, which is six times lighter than steel and three and a half times lighter than titanium. It has a fascinating marble effect and contains a high-performance polymer matrix with 60% bio-based material (castor oil). It is also anti-magnetic and does not corrode over time. The residues from the production process are 100% recycled. This is simply revolutionary and was designed for NORQAINER (and of course others), sports enthusiasts all over the world.

Leather is subject to a natural aging process and normal wear and tear over time. To prolong the wearing time, we recommend avoiding contact with water, cosmetics, perfume, extreme cold or strong sunlight. The wearing time of a high-quality leather watch strap is normally between 10 and 18 months, depending on your wearing habits.

NORQAIN watches are water-resistant from at least 10 bar (100 meters) to 20 bar (200 meters). The exact water resistance of your watch can be found on the case back or on our website. In general, we advise you to be careful when handling water. Avoid swimming with the crown unscrewed or operating the chronograph pushers under water. You should also bear in mind that water resistance is not a permanent condition. Your watch should be checked at least every 12 months by an authorized NORQAIN Service Center.

Send your watch for an annual water resistance check. To find your nearest service center, click here.

Strong magnetic fields from magnets or electronic devices can affect the accuracy of your NORQAIN watch. We therefore recommend that you avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers, refrigerators or some handbag clasps.
