- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher (at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
5.1 Water Resistance (10 Bar / 100 Meters)

6. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
- Water Exposure: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and seals.
- Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, bracelet, and seals.
- Impact: While the watch is shock-resistant, avoid strong impacts or drops to prevent damage to the internal mechanism or exterior.
- Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, it is powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically (indicating low battery), have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to their 12 o'clock (or zero) position after resetting, they may need calibration. This typically involves pulling the crown to the second click and using the pushers to adjust the chronograph hands to zero, then pushing the crown back in. Refer to specific VK34 movement instructions if needed.
- Water Inside the Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
