Servicing

Mechanical watches are designed to last for decades with proper care.

Every AVARA timepiece is built around reliable, serviceable components that can be maintained long after your warranty has ended.

Whether your watch simply needs routine maintenance or more extensive repairs, we're here to help.

Routine Servicing

Like any precision mechanical instrument, automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing.

We recommend a complete service every 5–7 years, depending on wear and environmental conditions.

Routine servicing helps maintain:

  • Timekeeping accuracy
  • Water resistance
  • Lubrication of internal components
  • Long-term mechanical reliability
Repairs

If your watch is damaged or develops a fault outside its warranty period, our team will gladly assist in arranging repair or replacement parts whenever possible.

Each service request is evaluated individually, and we'll always recommend the most appropriate solution before any work begins.

No repairs are carried out without your approval.

Replacement Parts

Because every AVARA watch uses high-quality, serviceable components, many individual parts such as: movements, crystals, crowns, straps, bracelets, and clasps, they can all be replaced if necessary.

Availability may vary depending on the model and production date.

Watch Care

To keep your watch performing at its best, we recommend:

  • Wearing regularly or winding periodically
  • Avoiding strong magnetic fields
  • Rinsing with fresh water after saltwater exposure (when water resistant)
  • Storing your watch in a cool, dry environment when not in use
  • Having water resistance checked periodically if frequently exposed to water
Movements

Every AVARA watch is powered by a trusted Japanese automatic movement selected for its reliability, serviceability, and long-term durability.

Designed to be maintained rather than replaced, these movements can provide decades of dependable performance with proper care.
