5. Setup
5.1 Initial Winding
As a mechanical watch, it requires manual winding if it has stopped or not been worn for an extended period. To wind the watch, turn the crown clockwise several times (approximately 20-30 rotations) until you feel slight resistance. This will initiate the movement and build up the power reserve.
5.2 Wearing the Watch
The watch is designed to self-wind with your natural wrist movements. Wear it regularly for at least 8-10 hours a day to maintain its power reserve. If worn infrequently, manual winding may be necessary.
6. Operating Instructions
The OLEVS 7117 features a crown and two left-side buttons for adjustments.
6.1 Setting the Time
- Gently pull out the crown (main knob on the right side).
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back in to secure it.
6.2 Setting the Date
- Press the crown (without pulling it out) to adjust the date. Each press will advance the date by one day.
6.3 Setting the Year and Day
The watch features two small dark buttons on the left side for adjusting the year and day.
- Left Dark Button (1): Press this button to adjust the year.
- Left Dark Button (2): Press this button to adjust the day.
6.4 Moon Phase and 24-Hour Display

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and dirt.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals to prevent damage and discoloration.
7.2 Water Resistance
The watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, and splashes. However, it is NOT suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any activities involving hot water or steam. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.
7.3 Storage
When not wearing the watch, store it in its original box or a soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches. Keep it away from strong magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
7.4 Professional Servicing
Mechanical watches benefit from periodic professional servicing (typically every 3-5 years) to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs intermittently | Insufficient power reserve. | Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times. Wear the watch regularly to allow the automatic movement to function. |
| Time is inaccurate | Needs adjustment or demagnetization. | Adjust the time as per Section 6.1. If inaccuracy persists, the watch may need demagnetization or professional adjustment by a watchmaker. |
| Condensation under the crystal | Exposure to extreme temperature changes or moisture ingress. | Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair to prevent internal damage. Avoid exposing the watch to warm or hot water. |
9. User Tips
- The leather strap is noted for its good quality and comfortable wear. Proper care will extend its lifespan.
- For optimal performance, wear your mechanical watch consistently or wind it manually every day if not worn.
