Once you have the back removed, you may need to remove parts to access the battery and perform the replacement. Because there is so much variability in timepiece design and you could potentially damage your watch when removing the back and other parts, experts recommend having an experienced watch repairer replace the battery. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of pocket watches.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 1, 2024
    To change the battery in a Vivienne Westwood watch, you will need to safely and carefully remove the watch case back. Servicing any kind of wristwatch is a complicated task if you are not a jewelry professional. To avoid potentially damaging your luxury timepiece and to ensure it is properly resealed after it is serviced, experts recommend that you consult a watchmaker or jeweler to replace your watch battery. 

    (Additionally, if you’ve purchased your Vivienne Westwood watch directly from the company, the care instructions provided with your timepiece likely include a discussion of a “two-year guarantee against any defects in workmanship from the date of purchase.” The company’s guarantee will be deemed “void if the product has been taken apart or repaired by anyone other than one of the authorized service centres.”) 

    Audacious British fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood initially began her career in jewelry, creating necklaces, brooches and other accessories in the early 1960s. Decades later, long after she found herself dressing the Sex Pistols and bridging the gap between music and fashion in a manner that has reverberated throughout the industry for years, Westwood gained recognition for her venturesome work with pearls, upending the legacy of an object that has been synonymous with ladylike elegance since the Tudor period. 

    Find vintage watches for sale on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An Omega watch battery should last one year to a year and a half. At this point it is a good idea to replace the battery to ensure ongoing accuracy and reduce any risk of damage from corrosion. Browse a wide variety of expertly vetted Omega watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    How long a Michele watch battery lasts varies. On average, people typically need to replace watch batteries at least once per year, but lifespans can range from 5 months to 3 years in some cases. One way to extend the life of your watch battery is to pull out the crown of the watch, the way that you do when you set it before placing it in storage. This will stop the watch, sparing the battery. Keep in mind that you'll need to reset your watch when you put it back on if you use this method of battery conservation. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Michele watches.
