Setup
Initial Winding
As a mechanical watch, it requires initial winding if it has stopped. Gently rotate the crown clockwise about 20-30 times while it is in its normal, pushed-in position. This will build up enough power reserve to start the movement.
Setting the Time
Pull the crown out to the furthest position (position 2). Rotate the crown to move the hands clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired time is set. Push the crown back into its normal position (position 0) to start the watch.
Setting the Date
Pull the crown out to the middle position (position 1). Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back into its normal position (position 0).
Important: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this can damage the movement's date change mechanism.
Bracelet Adjustment
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have a professional jeweler adjust the links to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp.
Operating Instructions
Automatic Self-Winding Movement
Your BENYAR 5209 watch features an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. This means the watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly (approximately 8-10 hours a day), the rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring, providing continuous power. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding to restart.
Water Resistance (5 ATM / 50 Meters)
The watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This rating means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, splashes, and rain. It is NOT suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any water sports where the watch might be submerged for extended periods or subjected to high-pressure water.
Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly wipe your watch with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, sweat, and fingerprints. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
Avoid Extreme Conditions
Protect your watch from extreme temperatures (hot or cold), direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy and longevity of the mechanical movement.
Chemicals
Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as they can damage the watch case, bracelet, and seals.
Professional Servicing
Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing (e.g., every 3-5 years) to clean, lubricate, and regulate the movement, ensuring optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Watch Has Stopped
If your automatic watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times. If it still doesn't start, wear it for several hours to allow the automatic movement to build up power.
Date Changes at Noon
This indicates that the watch's internal 24-hour cycle is misaligned. To correct this, set the time forward by 12 hours. For example, if it's 10 AM and the date changes, set the watch to 10 PM. Then, set the correct date, and finally, set the correct time.
Condensation Under the Crystal
If you notice condensation inside the watch, it indicates a breach in the water resistance. This requires immediate professional attention to prevent damage to the movement.
User Tips
For consistent accuracy, wear your automatic watch regularly. If you alternate watches, consider a watch winder to keep your BENYAR 5209 powered and accurate.
When setting the time, it's often best practice to set the minute hand a few minutes past the desired time, then turn it backward to the exact minute. This helps to remove any slack in the gear train.
While the watch is water-resistant, avoid exposing it to sudden temperature changes (e.g., hot shower after being in cold water) as this can compromise the seals.
