HYT watches use a patented fluidic module where two mechanical bellows push immiscible colored and transparent liquids through a glass capillary. The meeting point of the fluids (the meniscus) indicates the current hour.
HYT watches typically come with a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, provided they are purchased from an approved HYT dealer. Damage from misuse is not covered.
No, the fluidic system is a sealed unit built to aerospace standards. It must only be serviced or replaced by professional watchmakers approved by HYT to maintain the warranty and function.
If storing for a long period, it is recommended to move the colored liquid back to its initial position (Zone I). Pull the crown to position B, set the time to 06:15, then reverse to 06:00 to retract the fluid, and leave the crown in position B.
