Oris Servicing and Repair

At Watch Surgery, we have extensive knowledge and experience as well as the latest equipment to provide outstanding service for your Oris watches.

Mechanical watches, such as Oris, require service periodically, primarily due to lubricants breaking down over time. The breakdown of these lubricants leads to an increase in friction between constantly moving watch parts, causing unnecessary stress on components. This ultimately leads to performance issues and sometimes may cause unnecessary damage to the components.

The primary objective of servicing mechanical watches is to reduce these unwanted frictions in the movement. It is necessary to have extensive knowledge and specialist equipment in order to properly service the mechanical movements within Oris watches.

Service, as watchmakers call it “Overhaul”, involves disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, reassembling, relubricating, adjusting, regulating, and testing the watch movement.

In a typical wristwatch, there are over 160 components with over 50 points of friction that require oiling. The more complications there are, the more points there are that require lubrication. The watch movement is lubricated with a variety of specialist lubricants in order to ensure that it runs smoothly and with the least amount of friction possible. Our watchmakers follow the manufacturer's technical service sheets which specify where oil should be applied and what type of oil should be used.
