I wonder if you have ever encountered this situation: you want to buy a watch, but when you look for relevant information, you find that there are many “terms” or “jargon” to describe watches, which will inevitably cause trouble for watch novices.
Quartz watches are driven by batteries to keep time, and have self-winding mechanical movements with an oscillating weight on the back. Mechanical watches store power through the barrel inside the movement to drive time. How to input power? The first way is to manually input kinetic energy to the watch by rotating the crown, which is what we often call manual winding. The second method is automatic winding. Through the shaking of the wrist, the automatic rotor of the watch generates power during movement.
Some watches have a power reserve display on the dial. The power reserve of the watch refers to the time the watch can continue to work normally before the mainspring must be wound. After 3 days, the watch needs to be wound again.
You must have heard the terms “major three hands” and “small three hands”. Three hands: hour hand, minute hand, second hand. The difference in size mainly depends on the position of the second hand. The so-called “major three hands” usually means that the three hands are located in the center of the dial. “Small three hands” means that the second hand is placed in a separate small dial.
A full calendar watch refers to a watch with date, day of the week, and month functions. The calendar is usually displayed through a window or small dial. Full calendar watches need to be manually adjusted every year in months with less than 31 days (i.e., 5 times in total in February, April, June, September, and November).
The dual time watch can display the time in two time zones at the same time. The traditional hour, minute, and second hands can read the local time, and the other 24-hour hand is used to read the departure time. The world time watch can display the time of multiple major cities in the world at the same time. Normally, the dial of a world time watch will display the names of 24 cities representing 24 time zones and a 24-hour dial. The center hour and minute hands will display the local time, which is the time in the time zone of the city located at 12 o’clock on the dial.
Chad Habakkuk –
I don’t think replica watches are bad. On the contrary, they are ordinary prices and high quality. I like buying replica watches very much and have bought several.
