The Swatch watch battery change kit gathers in three pieces everything needed to open, handle and close a Swatch watch with peace of mind. Designed specifically for the closing system unique to the Swatch brand, this watchmaking kit avoids having to improvise with unsuitable tools that could damage the case.
This kit for changing a Swatch watch battery consists of an opening tool, an antistatic tweezer and a watch battery of your choice. The batteries available for this watchmaking kit are VARTA brand. The VARTA brand offers high-quality long-lasting watch batteries, recognised worldwide for their reliability. The opening tool has a steel blade with a plastic handle to open the Swatch watch compartment. The tweezer is in stainless steel and allows safe handling of the accumulator when replacing the watch battery.
Use this kit as soon as the battery of your Swatch watch is empty and the second hand jumps or stops. Rather than sending the watch to after-sales service, you can open the case, replace the battery and close everything in a few minutes. It is an economical solution for brand enthusiasts who own several models.
Place the watch on a stable support. Insert the blade of the tool into the notch provided at the rear of the Swatch case and gently lever to release the cover. With the antistatic tweezer, remove the old battery and insert the new VARTA battery respecting the polarity. Close the cover by gently pressing until it clicks.
The opening tool is built to last: the steel blade keeps its edge and the plastic handle offers a good grip. The antistatic tweezer prevents any risk of discharge on the quartz movement, which is sensitive to electrical impulses.
Which battery should I choose for my Swatch?
You need to know the exact reference of the original battery (often printed on the back of the watch or in the manual). Make sure to choose the right watch battery model before purchase.
Does the kit work on other brands?
The opening system specific to Swatch is not suited to screw-back or snap-back watches. For other brands, choose a suitable kit.
Is the antistatic tweezer mandatory?
Yes, antistatic prevents damage to the electronic components of the quartz movement during handling.
