Make sure you wear it at least once a week to keep the movement in proper working condition. When you don't wear the watch, it's best to put it in a dust-proof box to ensure that dust doesn't adhere to the surface of the watch or enter the inside of the mechanism, which can cause serious damage to the movement.

For automatic mechanical watches, daily wear is the best way to recharge the movement, however collectible watches can lose power if they are not worn for a long time. Therefore, it should be manually wound up at regular intervals (one to two weeks) to ensure that its movement is always in working condition.
