Jeweler with a watchmaker

Honolulu Time

Jeweler and watchmaker in Ala Moana servicing Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, with batteries, overhauls and mail-in service.

Honolulu Time is a jeweler with an on-site watchmaker, located on Kapiolani Blvd in the Ala Moana area of Honolulu. The shop handles the full range of day-to-day watch work: battery replacement, crystal replacement, bracelet sizing, case and bracelet polishing, pressure (water resistance) testing, and vintage watch repair, alongside full service and overhaul.

Work covers Rolex, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Cartier and Seiko, and the shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex and Omega — worth confirming directly if that status matters for your particular watch. The watchmaker holds AWCI and CW21 certifications.

A full service starts at $150, with turnaround quoted at 7 to 10 business days; a battery swap runs $20. For customers outside Oahu, Honolulu Time offers mail-in service, so a watch doesn't need to be dropped off in person to get a battery, crystal, or overhaul done.

The shop is open daily except Sunday, with slightly shorter hours on Saturday. Given the mix of modern and vintage brands handled and the in-house watchmaker, this is a reasonable stop for anything from a quick battery change to a full mechanical overhaul on a Rolex, Omega, or similar.
