  3. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
  4. Push the crown back to the normal position.
  5. Screw the crown back in clockwise firmly to ensure water resistance.

Chronograph Hand Zero Position Adjustment

  1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the second click position.
  2. Press Pusher A (top button) to advance the central chronograph second hand. Each press moves the hand one step.

  4. Adjust both hands until they are perfectly aligned to the "0" position.
  5. Once aligned, push the crown back to the normal position and screw it in clockwise.

Operating Instructions

Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)

  1. Start: Press Pusher A (top button) to start the chronograph. The central chronograph second hand and the chronograph minute subdial will begin to move.
  2. Stop: Press Pusher A again to stop the chronograph. Read the elapsed time from the central chronograph second hand and the chronograph minute subdial.
  3. Reset: After stopping, press Pusher B (bottom button) to reset all chronograph hands to their "0" positions.

Water Resistance Guidelines

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 10 Bar (100 Meters). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, please observe the following precautions:

  • Ensure the screw-down crown is fully and securely tightened before any contact with water.
  • Do NOT operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the seals.
  • After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe your watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
  • Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, and seals.
  • Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes.
  • Magnetic Fields: While the watch is designed to be anti-magnetic, prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect its accuracy.
  • Battery Replacement: The watch is powered by a quartz movement with a battery. When the battery runs low, the second hand may jump in 2-second intervals. Have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
  • Leather Strap Care: Leather straps are susceptible to wear and tear from sweat, water, and sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid prolonged soaking.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Watch stops or runs inaccurately.Low battery, shock, or magnetic interference.Replace battery, avoid strong impacts, keep away from strong magnetic fields. If issues persist, consult a technician.

Moisture inside the watch.Crown not fully screwed down, damaged seals, or exposure to steam/hot water.Immediately take the watch to a qualified technician for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.

User Tips

  • Always ensure the screw-down crown is securely tightened after adjusting the time to maintain water resistance.
  • The luminous hands and markers require exposure to light to glow in the dark. A few minutes in bright light will charge them sufficiently.
  • To preserve the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
