If we find a leak, we may need to replace components such as the crown, pushers, glass and seals. We will provide a quote for any work in advance to ensure that you are happy.

Once the battery is replaced and pressure test complete, we will reseal your watch with silicone grease around the case back and winder, this protects your watch from dirt and moisture, safeguards your battery and extends its lifespan.

Why it's important to replace your watch Battery and have a Pressure Test

  • A depleted battery can leak and cause internal damage to the movement.
  • A failing battery may lead to erratic timekeeping or to your watch not working at all.
  • A pressure test ensures that your watch remains water-resistant, preventing moisture from entering and damaging delicate internal components.
  • A pressure test should be performed every time a caseback is removed, to make sure it’s protected from the elements.

Why use An Expert?

Replacing a watch battery is a relatively simple task, but it’s important to handle the process with care to avoid damaging your watch. You can easily damage the internal mechanism or scratch the case, which will change the aesthetic of the watch and reduce its value.

If your watch is water resistant it is crucial that a watch pressure test is completed every time the case is opened, whether it is to replace the battery or carry out an inspection or repair. Water and moisture can cause costly or irreparable damage to your watch.

We are trained watchmakers with the correct tools and experience to repair a wide range of watch brands and models. You can be rest assured, your watch is in safe hands.
