Tolerances and QA checks
Dial, hands, watch fit and finish - when checking, we look for 'eye clean' at a distance of 30cm.
Automatic movement accuracy - we check all watch movement prior to dispatch on a timegrapher.
Note that with age, 'running in', and wear, automatic movements accuracy may change over time (+/-). Daily accuracy will also change depending on the position the watch is kept in, or spends most of the time in (face up, face down, crown down etc.).
Bezel Alignment, where rotating bezel is fitted - bezel alignment tolerance is +/- 1 degree.
