Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown (middle knob on the right side) out to the second click position.
- Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position to start the watch.
-
Setting the Date:
- Pull the crown out to the first click position.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to set the date.
- Push the crown back in to the normal position.
- Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If the date needs to be set during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.
- Adjusting the Strap: The leather strap can be adjusted using the buckle. Ensure a comfortable fit that is not too tight or too loose.
Operating the Watch
Chronograph Function
Your BENYAR BY-5205 watch is equipped with a chronograph (stopwatch) function.
- Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher (button above the crown) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the lower pusher (button below the crown) to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
Luminous Dial
The watch features luminous hands and markers for visibility in low-light conditions. These elements absorb light during the day and emit a glow in the dark.
Water Resistance (50M)
Your watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct impact.
- Battery Replacement: The watch uses a quartz movement powered by a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's time for a battery replacement. We recommend having this done by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
-
Watch Not Running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
- The battery may be depleted. Consider professional battery replacement.
-
Date Not Changing Automatically:
- Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date typically changes around midnight.
- Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
-
Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
- Ensure the chronograph is stopped before attempting to reset.
- If hands are misaligned, consult a professional watchmaker for adjustment.
- Water Inside the Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a professional watchmaker. This indicates a breach in water resistance that needs urgent attention to prevent further damage.

User Tips
- Luminous Feature Activation: For maximum glow, expose the watch dial to bright light (natural or artificial) for a few minutes before entering a dark environment.
- Chronograph Use: Practice using the chronograph to become familiar with its start, stop, and reset functions. This can be useful for timing various activities.
- Water Resistance Caution: While water-resistant, it's always best to avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals over time.
