The process of adjusting a Sellita SW500 movement to achieve optimal timekeeping accuracy involves careful regulation of its internal components. This regulation aims to minimize deviations in the rate at which the watch measures time, ensuring it aligns as closely as possible with standard time. This adjustment can involve manipulating the regulator arm or, in some cases, the balance screws, to fine-tune the balance wheel’s oscillation rate.
Accurate timekeeping is paramount for reliable scheduling and coordination. Properly regulating a watch movement allows for confidence in its precision. Historically, watchmakers have devoted significant effort to refining regulation techniques, striving to enhance the utility and dependability of mechanical timepieces. A well-regulated movement minimizes the need for frequent adjustments and maximizes the lifespan of the watch’s components.
