Setup
-
Initial Winding
Your OLEVS 6650 is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, it needs to be manually wound. To do this, unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) and then turn it clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance. This will provide enough power for the watch to start running and build up a power reserve through normal wear.

Setting the Time and Date
To set the time and date:
- Pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the date. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed.
- Pull the crown out to the second position to adjust the time. Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is set. Ensure you account for AM/PM when setting the date.
- Once set, push the crown back into its original position. If it's a screw-down crown, gently screw it back in to ensure water resistance.
-
Adjusting the Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist. This typically involves removing or adding links. A small tool with a pin is usually provided for this purpose. Insert the pin into the small holes on the side of the links, push firmly to release the spring bar, and then remove the link. Repeat as necessary. Exercise caution as the adjustment tool's pin can be delicate.

Operating the Watch
-
Automatic Movement
The OLEVS 6650 features an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. This means the watch is powered by the natural motion of your arm. When worn regularly (approximately 8-10 hours a day), it will maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop and require manual winding to restart.
-
Luminous Function
The watch hands and markers are coated with a luminous material, allowing for readability in low-light conditions. This material absorbs light during the day and emits it in the dark. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure to light.

-
Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
The watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel can be turned counter-clockwise and is typically used to mark elapsed time, such as dive times or other timed events. The outer ring only serves as a reminder and does not automatically rotate.

-
Water Resistance
The OLEVS 6650 watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM (30 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as accidental splashes, rain, or washing hands. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water immersion. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance
-
Cleaning
Wipe the watch regularly 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 using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
-
Water Resistance Precautions
Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if it's a screw-down crown, securely tightened before any contact with water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
-
Automatic Movement Care
For consistent timekeeping, wear your automatic watch regularly. If you do not wear it daily, consider investing in a watch winder to keep the movement running and lubricated, or manually wind it every few days.
-
Avoid Extreme Conditions
Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and severe shocks, as these can affect the accuracy and longevity of the mechanical movement.
Troubleshooting
-
Watch Stops Working
If your automatic watch stops, it likely needs to be wound. Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If the issue persists after regular wear, the movement may require inspection by a professional.
-
Strap Adjustment Tool Breaks
The pin on the strap adjustment tool can be fragile. If it breaks, you may need to acquire a more robust tool or seek assistance from a jeweler to adjust the bracelet size.
-
Luminous Function Not Bright Enough
The luminous material requires exposure to light to charge. If the watch has not been exposed to sufficient light, its glow in the dark will be dim or non-existent. Ensure adequate light exposure for optimal luminescence.
