The Ingersoll Scovill Automatic I13902 is a bold expression of mechanical artistry, engineered for those who appreciate the raw beauty of watchmaking. This 43mm automatic timepiece features a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate self-winding movement beneath, allowing you to witness every gear, bridge, and balance wheel in motion. The gunmetal black PVD-coated stainless steel case delivers a contemporary edge, while the coin-edge bezel and robust proportions pay homage to Ingersoll's heritage of American industrial design dating back to 1892.
Powered by a reliable automatic movement, this watch requires no battery—simply wear it regularly and the rotor will keep it wound. The black dial features luminous hands and hour markers for legibility in low light, while the skeleton construction provides an ever-changing visual spectacle with each glance. Water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres), the Scovill is equipped to handle daily wear, splashes, and even recreational swimming. The genuine black leather strap with contrast stitching and pin buckle clasp ensures all-day comfort, with a lug width of 24mm allowing for easy customisation.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require a battery?
A: No. The Scovill I13902 is powered by an automatic mechanical movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. If you wear it regularly, it will maintain its power reserve without ever needing a battery replacement.
Q: What does the skeleton dial show?
A: The skeleton dial is cut away to reveal the working automatic movement beneath, including the gears, bridges, escapement, and rotor. This allows you to watch the mechanical components in action, making each glance at the time a fascinating experience.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, the Scovill can handle swimming, snorkelling, and showering. However, we recommend avoiding hot water, saunas, and operating the crown while submerged to maintain the seals.
Q: How accurate is the automatic movement?
A: Automatic mechanical movements typically run within -20 to +40 seconds per day, depending on wear patterns, winding state, and position. This variance is normal and part of the charm of mechanical watchmaking, as opposed to quartz precision.
Q: What is the power reserve?
A: While the exact power reserve is not specified by the manufacturer, most automatic movements of this type provide approximately 38-42 hours when fully wound. If you don't wear the watch for a day or two, you may need to manually wind it using the crown.
Q: Can I change the strap?
A: Yes. The watch has a standard 24mm lug width, meaning you can easily swap the leather strap for any aftermarket strap or bracelet of the same width. Visit our store for strap options and fitting assistance.
Q: Is the PVD coating durable?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is highly durable and scratch-resistant, significantly more so than standard plating. While not completely impervious to damage from extreme impacts or abrasion, it will maintain its gunmetal black finish through normal daily wear.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Wear your automatic watch regularly to keep it wound. The movement is powered by wrist motion, so consistent wearing ensures optimal timekeeping.
- Manual Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind it using the crown (position 1) by turning clockwise approximately 20-30 times until you feel resistance. Never force the crown.
- Setting the Time: Pull the crown to position 2 and turn to set the time. Avoid setting the time or date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date mechanism.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in and never operate it while underwater. After exposure to saltwater, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged water exposure and wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth when needed.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
- Servicing: Automatic movements should be serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and seal replacement.
- PVD Coating: While durable, avoid impacts against hard surfaces that could scratch or chip the coating. Polish with a soft cloth only—never use abrasive cleaners.
- Magnetism: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
