Warranty Information

Warranty Coverage

All MWC watches are covered by a 24-month international warranty.

In the event an item is replaced under warranty, the replacement typically inherits the remaining warranty period from the original purchase. For instance, if a watch comes with our standard two-year warranty and is replaced after one year, the new item would be covered for the remaining one year. This means the warranty duration continues from the original purchase date and does not reset upon replacement. 

Please note that certain restrictions apply, as outlined below.

Q: What does the MWC Warranty cover?

A: The MWC two-year international warranty covers the following:

  • GTLS failure (within the first 12 months)
  • Movement failure
  • Hands detaching
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Tritium GTLS vials detaching from the dial or hands
  • Significant time loss or gain within the first year
  • Water ingress (subject to appropriate use and within the watch's water resistance rating)

What is not covered by the warranty?

  • Battery replacement
  • Strap or bracelet
  • Water leakage from shower or bath use
  • Scratched, loose, or lost bezels, including the loss of the pip
  • Damage due to misuse or accidental damage
  • Loss of watch pins holding the strap
  • Scratched, chipped, or broken glass
  • Broken or detached crown
  • Scratched, damaged, or loose case back
  • Faults or damage from repairs attempted by unauthorized service centers
  • Water ingress caused by leaving the crown unscrewed, including thermal shock (e.g., moving from a hot environment into cold water)

Note: All repair and warranty work during the 24-month warranty period must be performed by an authorized MWC repair center. Unauthorized repairs will void the warranty and result in a chargeable repair.


Q: My watch needs repair. Should I remove the strap before sending it?

A: If your watch has a customized strap or a different type of strap, we recommend removing it before sending. If the watch is exchanged, it will be returned with the strap typically used for that model.

Q: My watch is sentimental. Should I send it for repair?

A: If your watch has sentimental value or is engraved, please contact us before sending it for repair. In some cases, your watch may be replaced, and the original may not be returned.
