What is an annual calendar watch?

An annual calendar watch automatically adjusts for 30- and 31-day months and only needs to be corrected once a year at the end of February.

Are pre-owned annual calendar watches reliable?

Yes. When purchased from a trusted source like The 1916 Company, each watch is fully inspected and guaranteed for authenticity and performance.

What brands are known for annual calendar watches?

Patek Philippe is the originator and benchmark, but other respected names such as Omega, IWC, and Ulysse Nardin also produce exceptional annual calendar models.

Do annual calendar watches require more maintenance?

Not necessarily. They contain more moving parts than simpler calendars, but when serviced properly, they’re very durable and practical.

Can I try these watches on in person?

Yes. Select pre-owned models are available at our showroom locations, and all are accessible via our online concierge service.
