Watch Definitions

Ana-Dig: A watch with both analogue and digital display. The analogue display has a traditional dial with hour, minute and, sometimes, second hands. The digital display shows the time on a liquid-crystal display.

Bezel: The upper portion of the watch that encircles the face and holds the crystal. In some cases it contains an extra ring to beautify the case, or a rotating ring with a special function.

Bracelet: A metal strap that goes around the wrist, made of steel, gold or other metal.

Cabochon: A smooth round or oval, convex (bulging outward) polished gemstone. In watch terminology, it describes a decorative stone set in the crown.

Case: The shell that houses the moving parts of the watch. It is always made of a durable material and is often waterproofed to some degree.

Chronograph: A stopwatch function built into a wristwatch.

Crown: The small round serrated knob, usually located at the 3 o'clock position. Some people refer to it as a winder, as it once was used to wind clockwork watches. Today, the crown is normally pulled out and rotated to set the time.

Crystal: The transparent protective covering that fits tightly over the face of the watch. It is held in place by the bezel. May be made from plastic, glass or synthetic sapphire. (See Crystal)

Dial: The face of an analogue watch, which usually displays the hands and hour markers. There are lots of different styles.

Gasket: A rubber or plastic ring that seals the internal works of the watch against dust, moisture and water.

Gold plating: An application of gold over the surface of an item. Gold plating is used to give watches the look of gold, at a fraction of the price.

Jewels: Small, hard gemstones used in certain moving parts of some mechanical watches. They are used in sensitive parts of the machinery because they are smooth and very durable, helping the watch stay accurate and last longer.

Liquid-crystal Display (LCD): A digital display where the numbers are formed in a liquid layer, sandwiched between a pair of clear crystals.

Movement: The means by which a watch keeps time, often including the power source. For example, a watch with mechanical movement uses a spinning balance wheel powered by a tightly wound spring, whereas a watch with quartz movement measures the vibrations in a piece of quartz and is often powered by a battery. See Stainless Steel: The metal of choice for high quality watchcases and bracelets, because it is durable and can withstand more wear and tear than brass or gold. It doesn’t contain nickel, so it’s also hypoallergenic.

Solar Tech: Solar powered quartz watch, such as the Eco Drive from Citizen. This provides the accuracy of quartz, without the inconvenience and cost of battery changes.

Strap: A leather, plastic or fabric band that holds the watch on your wrist.

Titanium: One of the lightest, strongest metals on earth. Used to make top-end watchcases and bracelets. Extremely durable and hypoallergenic. Great if you're allergic to nickel.

Water resistance: How well a watch will resist the intrusion of moisture.

Make your watch last longer if you do swim with it:

• Do not press any of the buttons whilst submerged.
• Do not pull out the winder whilst submerged.
• If the case, glass or seal is damaged, the watch will no longer be water resistant.
• If a watch is exposed to seawater, it should be washed well in fresh water and dried with a lint-free cloth.
• Batteries should be changed by the manufacturer or a Goldsmiths craftsman, so the water resistant seals can be checked and renewed. Otherwise the watch can no longer be guaranteed.
