Introduction
Thank you for choosing the OLEVS 6678 Automatic Mechanical Watch. This timepiece combines classic design with modern functionality, featuring an automatic self-winding movement, multiple sub-dials for date, day, and moon phase, a visible tourbillon-style hollow flywheel, and luminous hands for readability in low light. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your watch to ensure its longevity and accurate performance.
Setup
Your OLEVS 6678 watch is an automatic mechanical timepiece, meaning it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, it may need to be manually wound before setting the time and date.
Initial Winding
- Ensure the crown is in its normal, pushed-in position.
- Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
- Wear the watch regularly (at least 8 hours a day) to keep it wound by your natural wrist movements.
Setting Time, Date, and Day
- Setting the Time:
- Pull the crown out to the outermost position (Position 2).
- Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. Rotate the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Pay attention to the 24-hour disc to distinguish AM/PM for accurate date change.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into its normal position (Position 0).
- Setting the Date:
- Locate the 'Adjust Calendar Button' (usually a small recessed button on the side of the case).
- Use a small, non-sharp tool (like a toothpick) to press this button repeatedly until the correct date is displayed on the calendar sub-dial.
- Setting the Day of the Week:
- Locate the 'Adjust week button' (another small recessed button).
- Use a small, non-sharp tool to press this button repeatedly until the correct day of the week is displayed on the week sub-dial.
Important: Avoid adjusting the date and day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the watch's internal mechanisms are engaged in changing the date, and manual adjustment can damage the movement. If you need to adjust during this period, first set the time outside this window (e.g., to 6 AM), adjust the date/day, then reset the time to the current time.
Operating Features
- Moon Phase Dial: The sub-dial at the 12 o'clock position displays the current moon phase, rotating automatically with the watch's movement.
- Week Pointer: The sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position indicates the current day of the week.
- Calendar Pointer: The sub-dial at the 3 o'clock position shows the current date.
- Hollow Flywheel (Tourbillon-style): The exposed mechanism at the 6 o'clock position is a decorative element showcasing the watch's mechanical movement.
- Luminous Function: The hour and minute hands, as well as the hour markers, are coated with a luminous material. This material absorbs light during the day and glows in the dark, allowing for easy time reading at night.

Maintenance
- Water Resistance: The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (3ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, splash/rain resistant, but not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, or water-related work. Avoid exposure to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Impact Protection: While the watch is designed to be shock-resistant, avoid dropping it or subjecting it to severe impacts.
Troubleshooting
- Watch is not running or stops frequently:
- As an automatic watch, it requires sufficient wrist movement to stay wound. If you don't wear it daily, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.
- Date or Day is not changing correctly:
- Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. Avoid adjusting the date/day between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, try resetting the time to 6 AM, then adjust the date/day, and finally set the correct time.
- Watch is running too fast or too slow:
- Mechanical watches can be affected by impacts, magnetic fields, or extreme temperatures. If the deviation is significant, it may require professional adjustment by a watchmaker.
- Condensation under the crystal:
- This indicates moisture has entered the watch. Immediately take it to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent damage to the movement.
