Frequently Asked Questions
Does a quartz movement require any special maintenance?
No. Unlike a mechanical movement, quartz does not require manual winding. It is powered by a battery with a lifespan of 2 to 3 years; simply have it replaced by a watchmaker once it runs out.
Can I wear this watch in the shower, at the pool, or for swimming?
The watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM), protecting it from splashes, rain, and hand washing. However, it is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged immersion: we do not recommend wearing it in the shower or at the pool.
Why choose a quartz movement over a mechanical or automatic movement?
Quartz movements offer superior timekeeping accuracy and do not require manual winding or the maintenance specific to mechanical movements, such as regular wear or winding after a period of inactivity. Powered by a simple, long-lasting battery, they are suitable for those who seek a reliable, low-maintenance watch for everyday use.
Does the watch come in a gift box, ready for gifting?
Yes. Each OLEVS Avignon watch comes in an elegant presentation box, with no additional packaging required – ideal for a birthday, wedding, Valentine's Day or any other special occasion.
How do I adjust the bracelet size to my wrist?
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This simple operation can be done for free at most local jewelers or watchmakers, in order to achieve a perfect and comfortable fit.
