Watchmaker Support Service
Building an automatic watch is a challenging task, but with our complete sets you will receive the prepared components for assembly, a full tool kit and detailed step by step instructions. All you need is a steady set of hands and a bit of patience, to complete this kit!
The D1 is a classic diver watch with an NH-35A automatic watch movement. Inside the 41mm stainless steel case, you will find an easy to read diver dial with date window and silver polished hands. Hour markers and hands are filled with extra strong lume to increase legibility in low-light environments. The watch comes either with a fully water resistant, soft and comfortable FKM strap or a stainless-steel bracelet.
Containing all parts, tools and instructions our kits are an ideal start into the world of watchmaking. Learn more about the way a watch works, the history of watchmaking and how to assemble your own automatic watch at home.
All our kits contain a detailed instructions book as well as access to our step-by-step video guides available on our homepage to assist you throughout the assembly.
