F.A.Q

WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF GENTLEMAAN WATCHES?

At GENTLEMAAN, product quality and customer satisfaction are paramount. Before being offered, each product is carefully tested and inspected by a team of experts. We select our suppliers according to very strict criteria to provide you with premium quality and exceptional design at the best price. We strive to provide you with watches with high-performance, reliable and durable mechanisms. 

WHAT TYPE OF MOVEMENT ARE YOUR WATCHES EQUIPPED WITH?

Our watches are equipped with self-winding mechanical movements. The mechanism is powered by the wearer’s wrist movements, thanks to an oscillating weight (or rotor) which rotates to tension the spring and supply the mechanism with energy. When the power reserve is exhausted, the mechanism stops.

ARE WATCHES WATER-RESISTANT?

In watchmaking, water-resistance refers to a watch’s ability to withstand water pressure and penetration. All GENTLEMAAN watches are water-resistant. Please refer to your owner’s manual for the water-resistance rating of your watch.  

Water-resistance corresponds to criteria defined by international standards: ISO-2281 for water-resistant watches and ISO-6425, with more stringent criteria for diving watches. 

We do our utmost to design watches for everyday use, This means your watch can withstand rain, splashes, small amounts of mist and even accidental, rapid submersion. However, to maximize the life of your watch, it is best to avoid contact with water, especially hot water. Excessive pressure or heat could damage the watch’s gaskets and consequently the watch itself. What’s more, the bracelet may degrade in contact with water, as leather is an animal material that is not waterproof by nature.
