Seven years are borderline in terms of service intervals, IMHO.

Seals and gaskets need exchanging to insure water resistance.

The Aerospace is a quartz watch, so there would not be parts wearing down, though.

Quartz watch service interval different from mechanical? Of course, this isn't a mech. watch.
