Nahdir watches are made of natural wood, a noble material that evolves over time and gains character with use. To ensure your Nahdir retains its essence and beauty for years, we have prepared a simple guide with care and maintenance recommendations.
Wood Hydration
Nahdir watches are made from exotic woods such as walnut, ebony, and red sandalwood, which can benefit from slight hydration to preserve their texture and color.
🛠️ How to do it:
1️⃣ Apply a small amount of natural oil (coconut oil or almond oil) to a soft cloth.
2️⃣ Rub it in circular motions on the wood.
3️⃣ Let the oil absorb and remove the excess with a dry cloth.
📌 Important: Perform this process every 3-6 months or when you notice that the wood looks dry.
Care of the Mechanism
If your Nahdir is a automatic watch, remember:
🔹 Use it regularly to keep its mechanism moving.
🔹 If you don't use it for several days, wind it manually by turning the crown about 20-30 times.
🔹 Avoid strong blows or impacts that may affect its accuracy.
If your Nahdir is a quartz movement, make sure to change the battery at a specialized center when necessary.
Secure Storage
If you are not going to use your Nahdir for a while, store it properly:
✅ In its original box or in a watch case to protect it from dust and moisture.
✅ In a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Taking care of your Nahdir watch is more than maintenance; it is a way to preserve its history and exclusivity.
