FAQ
Does this pen come pre-filled with oil?
No, the Watch Oil Pen Applicator arrives empty. This allows you to fill it with the specific grade of synthetic or mineral oil required for your specific watch movement, such as Moebius or other specialized watchmaking lubricants.
How do I clean the needle tip?
You can clean the stainless steel tip by gently wiping it with a lint-free microfiber cloth or a piece of Rodico. If the oil has dried, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a swab will remove any residue without damaging the needle.
Can I use this for lubricating watch bracelets?
Yes, this tool is excellent for applying a tiny amount of oil to stiff links or friction pins on metal bands. It helps eliminate squeaking and ensures the bracelet drapes comfortably around your wrist without catching.
Is the tip fine enough for hairsprings?
While the 0.5mm tip is very precise, we recommend it for pivots, gears, and escapements. Always consult a technical guide before lubricating sensitive hairspring components to ensure you do not cause the coils to stick together.
