Oils

Oils

Are substances used to lubricate and protect the components of a watch movement. The oils work to reduce friction between the moving parts and minimize the wear caused by constant rubbing. This helps improve the performance of the watch and ensures smooth and accurate operation.

The types of oils used in watches vary depending on their function and where they are applied. There are oils specifically designed for lubricating bearings, pivots, and pallets, and there are oils specifically formulated for lubricating the mainsprings and the gear train of the watch. These oils differ in their viscosity, saturation level, and resistance to oxidation.
