Question 1

Do I need to loosen the crown to remove my Edox Les Bémonts watch from its box?

Accepted Answer

No, you absolutely do not need to loosen or remove the crown to take the watch out of its box.

The crown is a small element located on the side of the watch case itself - it is in no way attached or linked to the presentation box. You can simply lift and remove the watch directly from its box without touching the crown.

Crown Positions

The crown of your Edox Les Bémonts Ultra Slim has three positions:

Normal position: crown pressed against the case (this is its resting position to ensure water resistance up to 50 meters)
Intermediate position: slightly pulled out to correct the date
Fully pulled position: to set the time and minutes

At the time of unboxing and first wear, the crown should remain in the normal position (against the case). You only need to manipulate it if you want to set the time or date.

Question 2

Do I need to loosen the crown to remove the watch from its box?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not necessary to loosen or remove the crown to take your Edox Les Bémonts Ultra Slim watch out of its box. The crown is integrated into the watch case and should remain in the normal position (against the case).

Crown Positions

Normal position: crown against the case - this is the everyday position to maintain water resistance
Intermediate position: pull the crown slightly to correct the date
Fully pulled position: to set the time and minutes

You can remove the watch from its box without changing the position of the crown. Just make sure that after any adjustment (date or time), you return the crown to the normal position to maintain the water resistance of your watch up to 50 meters.

Question 3

How to replace the hands of the Edox Les Bémonts Ultra Slim 560013AIN?

Accepted Answer

Replacing the hands of an Edox Les Bémonts Ultra Slim is not a recommended operation for an individual.

As stated in the manual for this watch, it has a precision mechanical movement with a three-position crown, and requires regular professional maintenance:

Every 2 years: waterproofness check and movement test
Every 5 years: complete overhaul with movement replacement

Replacing the hands is part of the maintenance interventions that should be entrusted to an authorized Edox service center. These specialists have the necessary precision tools and can ensure that the operation meets the brand's quality standards.

You can contact Edox directly or consult an authorized Edox specialist watchmaker in your area for this service.

Question 4

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

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.
