Chronograph Operation

If your model includes a chronograph function:

1. Press button 'A' to start/stop the chronograph.
2. Press button 'B' to reset the chronograph to zero.

NOTE:

• When the crown is in Position 2, do not press the pushers, as this will move the chronograph hands.

Water Resistance Guidelines

Your watch is rated for 30M (3 Bar) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands or face. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water.

Maintenance

General Care

• Clean your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
• If the watch gets wet, wipe it dry immediately, especially the strap, to prevent damage and skin irritation.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a Quartz movement and requires a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it indicates a low battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.

WARNING: Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself unless you have the proper tools and expertise, as this may compromise the watch's water resistance and void any potential warranty.

Mineral Mirror Care

The watch features a Hardlex mineral glass dial window, which offers clear vision, strong light transmission, and is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. While durable, avoid dropping or striking the watch against hard surfaces to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Check if the crown is pushed fully into Position 0.
• The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.

Incorrect Time/Date Display

• Refer to the "Operating Instructions" for correct time and date setting procedures.
• Ensure you avoid setting the date/day between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. to prevent mechanism damage.

Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero

If the chronograph hands are not at the zero (12:00) position:

1. Pull the crown out to Position 2.
2. Press button 'B' to move the hands clockwise. Press and hold 'B' for fast increment/decrement.
3. Once both hands are at the zero position, reset the time and push the crown back to Position 0.
