This professional Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) brings together everything needed to service and repair a watch at home or in a watchmaker workshop, with the same approach used in service centres trained on Rolex, Omega and Seiko movements. The Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) is supplied as a complete set: 5 matched parts, a clear allocation of functions, and a finish that respects the requirements of a watchmaker bench.
Overview
The Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) is built around a coherent selection of 5 watchmaker tools, designed to cover the most common operations on a bracelet or case: extracting pins, fitting spring bars, opening a case back, or manipulating components on a Bergeon-style support block.
The diameters covered (n/a) correspond to the dimensions used on industrial bracelets from brands such as Rolex, Omega and Seiko, and align with the watchmaker references published by Bergeon.

When to use
Use this Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) whenever a watch needs to be resized, when a spring bar has to be replaced, or when a case back must be opened to swap a battery, service a quartz module or change a gasket. The tools are dimensioned for cases from 20 mm to 50 mm in diameter and for bracelets from 12 mm to 24 mm in width, the standard range covered by brands such as Rolex, Omega and Seiko.
The set is equally suited to a private watch enthusiast who wants to keep a personal collection in working order and to a professional watchmaker looking for an additional, dedicated set of tools for travelling service calls or for use at a second bench.
How to use
- Place the watch on the support block, bracelet up, with the closure removed when relevant.
- Identify the pins or spring bars to be released and choose the matching tip diameter, between 0.70 mm and 1.20 mm in most cases.
- Position the pin pusher or spring bar tool, keeping the tool axis perpendicular to the link or to the lug.
- Apply light, steady pressure: never exceed 0.4 Nm of effort when working close to a screw-back case, in line with general watchmaker practice.
- Refit the pin or spring bar by gentle taps of the watchmaker hammer, with the plastic-tipped head facing the part to avoid scratches.
Quality and materials
Each tool of the Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) is finished to watchmaker tolerances. Steel parts are tempered to around 52 HRC for the pin pushers and around 58 HRC for the spring bar tips, the same hardness range used by Bergeon-style benchmarks. Plastic handles are smooth, free of burrs and dimensioned for an ergonomic grip during long sessions.
Hardness is verified during production according to the HRC scale, and the tolerances on the working diameters remain below 0.05 mm. The Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) is delivered ready to use, without further calibration on a Bergeon-style reference. Storage in a closed pouch protects each tool against impacts and against dust that could otherwise be transferred onto a watch case during the next service.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) compatible with a Rolex case or with an Omega bracelet?
Yes. The tools are dimensioned for the standard pin diameters and the spring bar lengths used by Rolex, Omega and Seiko, between 0.70 mm and 1.20 mm for pins and between 14 mm and 24 mm for spring bars. Always check the manufacturer documentation before opening a screw-back case under warranty.
Are the tools antistatic, and can I service a quartz movement?
The tweezer and the pliers included in the relevant Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) are antistatic and limit the risk of an electrostatic discharge on a quartz module from Seiko or Omega. The other tools, manufactured from stainless steel or from brass, are inert with respect to the lubricants commonly used in a watchmaker service.
How do I maintain the Set of 5 Watchmaker Loupes (x2.5 / x3 / x5 / x7 / x10) between two services?
Wipe each tool with a dry, lint-free cloth after every session and store the {kit} in its original pouch or in a closed drawer. Avoid solvents on the plastic handles. Inspect each pin pusher tip before reuse: a bent tip must be replaced rather than straightened, to keep the working diameter within tolerance.
