5.2 Water Resistance
Your OLEVS 2987 watch is rated as 30m (3ATM) life waterproof. This means it is resistant to splashes, rain, and accidental brief immersion. It is NOT suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any water sports where it will be submerged for extended periods or exposed to high-pressure water.

Important: Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.
6. Care and Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and smudges. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
6.2 Water Exposure Precautions
While the watch is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to water, steam, or extreme temperature changes should be avoided to maintain its integrity. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
6.3 Leather Strap Care
The genuine leather strap is breathable and comfortable. To prolong its life, avoid excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. If the strap gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help maintain its appearance and flexibility.

6.4 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement with a battery. When the watch stops or the second hand starts skipping, it's an indication that the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
7. Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery might need replacement.
- Date not changing: Ensure the crown is pulled to the first click and rotated correctly. The date typically changes around midnight; if it changes at noon, you may need to advance the time by 12 hours.
- Chronograph not resetting to zero: This may require a simple calibration. Consult a watch technician if the issue persists after attempting to reset it multiple times.
- Condensation inside the crystal: This indicates a loss of water resistance. Seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.
