How do I start my Edox Les Vauberts Chronograph watch after replacing the battery?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your Edox Les Vauberts Chronograph watch with automatic movement should not require a battery. However, if you have replaced a battery or if your watch is not working after an intervention, here’s how to restart it.

Manual winding of the watch: After 40 hours or more without wearing it, your watch stops. To restart it, turn the crown in the normal position (fully pushed in) about 30 times clockwise. You should feel some resistance and the crown will lock. The watch will then wind itself through the movements of your wrist, as it has an automatic rotor.

Checking contacts and installation: If you accessed the movement, ensure that all metal contacts are clean. Gently clean them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Check that the case back is properly closed and waterproof. Edox recommends having the waterproofing checked after each opening of the case by an authorized center.

Initializing the chronograph: If the chronograph (the stopwatch hands) is not in the zero position, you need to reset them. Pull the crown slightly out of the case (date correction position). Press buttons A and B simultaneously for 2 seconds. The chronograph hands should make a complete turn. Push the crown back into its initial position to finish.

Setting the time and date: Pull the crown fully out (time setting position). Turn it to set the hour and minutes clockwise or counterclockwise. Push the crown back in to restart the watch. Do not adjust the date between 10 PM and 2 AM to avoid damaging the mechanism.

Important tips: Avoid excessive pressing on the buttons or forcing the crown. If the watch frequently stops or does not restart despite manual winding, this may indicate a movement issue. Edox recommends having your watch checked by an authorized official dealer, who has the appropriate tools and can verify the waterproofing after intervention. This service every 2 to 5 years is recommended to ensure the proper functioning of your chronograph.
