Men's Automatic Watch

Power reserve, a key criterion for men

The power reserve determines how long the watch will run when off the wrist: most often 38 to 42 hours, up to 70 hours and beyond on modern calibres. For a man who alternates between several watches or removes it at weekends, this is a practical consideration: beyond the power reserve, manual winding (a few turns of the crown) and time adjustment are needed. An automatic winder solves this issue for models with date or complications, keeping them always ready.

Choosing your men's automatic watch

The case of men's automatics is often more generous (40 to 45 mm) because the mechanical movement takes up more space than a quartz module. Many models offer a transparent caseback that reveals the movement in action, a real visual pleasure. In terms of style, the automatic ranges from the robust diver to the dressed model with leather strap. Skeleton or open heart dials, which let you see the mechanism, are particularly sought after in this segment: our page men's skeleton watch is dedicated to them.

Maintenance of a men's automatic

Worn regularly, an automatic maintains itself through wrist movement. When stationary, it is kept on an automatic winder. Keep it away from strong magnets (speakers, magnetic clasps, induction), which can cause it to drift; demagnetisation corrects the problem instantly. Plan for a movement service every 5 to 8 years to renew the oils. Check the water resistance rating engraved on the back before any contact with water.
