Remove the back and put a small drop of Mobius oil at the center of the rotor where the bearings are. There are other lubricants that people suggest too. Don't put much and you don't want it to get on the other watch parts.
It makes a world of difference... Good luck!

This is the most popular by far. The most often mistake by amateur horologists is putting too much oil. To make it quieter (and this will result in more movement to achieve the same barrel wind), you actually want to use grease or silicone. The type used for o-rings and gaskets. This is thicker, more viscous, and won’t likely drip into other parts of the watch. It also has the most noticeable effect on sound. It is much more dramatic than oil. As with oil, the smallest amount possible best and only on the bearings. No where else. Good luck!
