A complete set of five precision watchmaker screwdrivers with spare blade heads for movement, case-back and bracelet screws.
Product overview
This screwdriver set is the central watchmaker tool of any bench: five precision screwdrivers covering common watch screw sizes plus a tray of spare blade heads. The handles rotate freely on a thrust ball-bearing so the watchmaker can apply axial pressure with one finger while the other fingers spin the body, exactly as on Bergeon-style reference benches. Sizes typically range from 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm to handle Seiko, Omega and Rolex movement, case and bracelet screws. Owning the proper instruments is the first step toward enjoyable, repeatable watch servicing on the bench at home or in a professional workshop. This watchmaker tool belongs to a broader range of horological accessories trusted by amateur restorers, vintage watch collectors and professional repair benches alike. Every stage of a watch service from case-back removal, gasket inspection, movement cleaning, bracelet sizing to crystal pressing benefits from dedicated, correctly sized instruments. Investing in the right tool prevents costly scratches on polished bezels, broken lugs, sheared screw heads or damaged spring bars. Whether you service a Seiko 5, an Omega Speedmaster, a Rolex Submariner clone or a Bergeon-compatible reference, working with proper hand tools dramatically reduces the risk of damaging your timepiece. Many enthusiasts start with battery changes on quartz watches and gradually move to bracelet adjustments, then case-back openings, before attempting movement work. Each phase needs its own specialised instruments, and assembling a full kit over time is more economical than buying a closed boxed set. Always work on a clean, well-lit bench, ideally on a soft mat that catches small parts, and keep a magnetic tray nearby for screws and pins. Lubricants like Moebius oils, drying papers and a dedicated dust blower complete the typical workshop. Combine this item with a watch holder, a 10x loupe and a fine screwdriver set ranging from 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm for a fully functional repair station. The hardness of working surfaces is calibrated around 55 to 60 HRC on most professional benches, ensuring repeatable results without marking the workpiece. Used carefully and stored away from humidity, this watchmaker tool will support hundreds of services without significant wear, and will pay for itself after only a few interventions on quartz or mechanical calibres. The bench is the heart of any watch service: a stable holder, focused light, soft work mat and tidy parts tray make every operation safer and faster. Adding this watchmaker tool to that environment turns a casual workspace into a small atelier capable of professional results on quartz and mechanical calibres alike.
