Operating Instructions
1. Time Display
The watch displays time using hour, minute, and second hands. The 24-hour subdial indicates the current hour in a 24-hour format.
2. Date Display
The date is displayed in a small window on the dial. Adjust as needed at the end of months with fewer than 31 days.
3. Chronograph Function (Stopwatch)
Your SAPPHERO SO2111 watch features a fully functional chronograph. The subdials measure elapsed seconds and minutes.
- Start: Press the top pusher button to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top pusher button again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed on the subdials.
- Reset: Press the bottom pusher button to reset the chronograph. The chronograph hands will return to their zero positions. Note that the chronograph hands reset by moving backward to zero.
4. Luminous Hands
The watch hands and markers are treated with a luminous material. After exposure to light, they will glow in the dark, allowing for time reading in low-light conditions.
Maintenance
1. Water Resistance (5ATM / 50 Meters)
Your watch is water-resistant to 5ATM (50 meters), meaning it can withstand splashes, rain, showering, and swimming in shallow water. However, it is NOT suitable for hot water activities (like hot showers or saunas) or deep-sea diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
2. Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt on the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish.
3. Crystal Care
The Hardlex mineral glass is highly scratch-resistant but not entirely scratch-proof. Avoid direct impact or abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.
4. Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement with an included battery. When the battery runs out, it is recommended to have it replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
5. Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement.
- Time or Date is incorrect: Refer to the 'Setting Time and Date' section to re-adjust.
- Water inside the watch: If you notice condensation or water droplets inside the watch, stop using it immediately and contact support.
- Strap too loose/tight: Use the provided tool to adjust the strap length as described in the 'Strap Adjustment' section.
