Other brands

Our Swisstec technicians can undertake work on most current and older Swiss watches and we provide the same quality service as we do for the brands we are officially accredited for. We can provide a bespoke range of maintenance options from a simple water resistance test and battery change to a complete service on an automatic perpetual calendar chronograph watch.

We also undertake case and bracelet refinishing by our Swiss trained polishers in our dedicated polishing department. We recommend that quartz watches receive a battery service every 2 years and that all watches receive a complete service approximately every 5 years. However, if the watch is suitable for swimming and diving and is used in water, we recommend the water resistance of the watch is tested on an annual basis.

To find the correct price for your watch open the Price Guide and find your brand and the category we assign to it i.e. A, B, C, D or E on the Brand Category guide then open the appropriate price list. If your brand does not appear please feel free to contact us and we can advise you directly.

  • A Complete Service involves the watchmaker checking the watch’s functions, diagnosing the cause of any faults.
  • The complete dismantling of the movement with the correction of any faults and replacement of any damaged / worn parts.
  • All parts are then cleaned in a series of ultrasonic chemical baths which removes all the old oil, grease and dirt.
  • While the movement is being cleaned the case will be completely broken down (case back, bezel, crystal,pushers etc. removed) and, having removed all the seals and gaskets, refinished and cleaned in large ultrasonic tanks.
  • Once the case is clean it is reassembled with new seals and gaskets, which are lubricated as required with special greases. The case is now ready to receive the cleaned movement.
  • The cleaned movement and pristine components are systematically reassembled and lubricated using up to 8 different fine synthetic oils and greases, before having the dial and hands refitted.
  • The watchmaker will now reset the clean movement with the dial and hands mounted into the watch case ensuring there are no hairs or dust in the case and recheck the watch regulation on the timing machine.
  • Once the case is closed the watch is then tested for water resistance and the final aesthetic, timekeeping and power reserve checks are made to ensure the watch is performing correctly.

Battery service

  • The watch is opened and electronic components checked using specific testing equipment.
  • Replacement of the battery and gaskets as appropriate to the watch model.
  • Tested for water resistance. Final aesthetic and timekeeping checks to ensure the watch is performing correctly.

I wanted to say how pleased I am, my Ball watch looks nothing short of  stunning. You were a joy to deal with, it was seamless. Not only that, but you achieved all this in a far shorter time than your original estimate. I would recommend you and your Company without hesitation! 

Mr Beardsell , UK

Thank you to the team for the servicing and refurbishing of my fathers' Omega watch. The accuracy is well within original factory tolerance and refurbishment makes it look as good as new. Thank you also for the tour of your workshops when I collected my watch.
