3. Setup and Basic Operation
3.1 Setting the Time and Date
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) to position 2 for date adjustment, or position 3 for time adjustment.
- Adjust the date: In position 2, turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date.
- Adjust the time: In position 3, turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM by observing the 24-hour sub-dial (if present) or by advancing the time past 12 o'clock to see if the date changes.
- Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch.
3.2 Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)
The PD1814 features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.
- Start: Press the top pusher button (A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top pusher button (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: Press the bottom pusher button (B) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
3.3 Luminous Display
The watch hands and hour markers are coated with a luminous material, allowing for readability in low-light conditions after exposure to light.
4. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
- Water Resistance: The watch is water-resistant up to 5 Bar (50 meters). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and splashes. It is NOT recommended for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the watch to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect the battery life and movement accuracy.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with chemicals such as perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which can damage the watch's finish and seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones) to prevent interference with the quartz movement.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand moves in 2-second intervals, it indicates a low battery. Have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
5. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery might need replacement.
- Time is inaccurate: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing or battery replacement.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This can sometimes be corrected by following a specific reset procedure (refer to a watch repair guide or consult a professional). Often, pulling the crown to the time-setting position and using the pushers can adjust the chronograph hands.
- Condensation inside the watch: This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and have the watch inspected by a professional immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
6. User Tips
- Bracelet Adjustment: If the stainless steel bracelet is too loose or too tight, it can be adjusted by removing or adding links. This is best done by a jeweler or watch repair professional to avoid damaging the bracelet.
- Regular Wear: Wearing your watch regularly can help maintain its optimal performance, especially for automatic movements (though this is a quartz watch, regular use ensures you notice any issues promptly).
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in its original gift box or a soft pouch to protect it from scratches and dust.
