2. Setting Time and Date

1. Unscrew the Crown: The crown is screw-down for water resistance. Gently turn the crown counter-clockwise until it releases from the case.
2. Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure the 24-hour subdial is correctly aligned for AM/PM.
4. Secure the Crown: Push the crown back into the first click position, then gently push and turn clockwise to screw it back down tightly against the case. This ensures water resistance.

2. Stop: Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph.
3. Reset: Unscrew the bottom pusher and press it to reset the chronograph hands to zero.
4. Secure Pushers: After using the chronograph, ensure both pushers are screwed back down tightly to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance and Care

2. Cleaning and Storage

• To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or crystal.
• When not wearing the watch, store it in its original case or a soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.

3. Battery Replacement

The watch uses an SR920SW nonstandard battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized service center or a professional watchmaker to ensure proper installation and re-sealing for water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: Ensure the chronograph pushers are fully unscrewed before attempting to reset. If the issue persists, a professional adjustment may be required.
• Water Inside the Watch: If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to a service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this will void the warranty and can cause further damage.
