2. Initial Setup

2.1 Setting Time and Date

To set the time and date on your Invicta 8932 watch, follow these steps:

1. Pull out the crown: Locate the crown (the small knob on the right side of the watch case). Gently pull it out to the first click (Position 2) for date adjustment, or to the second click (Position 3) for time adjustment.
2. Adjust the date: In Position 2, rotate the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date.
3. Adjust the time: In Position 3, rotate the crown to move the hands and set the correct time. Pay attention to the 24-hour cycle if your watch has a date change mechanism that advances at midnight.
4. Push in the crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown firmly back into Position 1 (its normal, fully-in position) to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.

2.2 Adjusting the Band

The stainless steel bracelet of your watch can be adjusted for a comfortable fit by adding or removing links. This process requires specialized tools and should ideally be performed by a professional watch technician to prevent damage to the links or the fold-over safety clasp. The clasp is designed to provide a secure closure during wear.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Unidirectional Bezel Function

The Invicta 8932 features a unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel rotates only counter-clockwise, which is a safety feature for divers to prevent accidental overestimation of elapsed time. To use it, align the zero marker on the bezel with the minute hand at the beginning of an activity you wish to time. As time passes, the minute hand will point to the elapsed time on the bezel's scale.

3.2 Date Display

The watch includes a date display window on the dial. This feature accurately tracks the current date, which can be adjusted as described in Section 2.1.

3.3 Water Resistance Guidelines

Your Invicta Pro Diver Watch Model 8932 is rated for water resistance up to 200 meters (660 feet). This means it is suitable for professional marine activities, surface water sports, and diving. Crucial Note: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and secured before the watch comes into contact with water. Never operate the crown or push buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise its water resistance.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To preserve the aesthetic and functional integrity of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate and thorough drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the watch's finish, gaskets, or crystal.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The Invicta 8932 operates on a SR626SW battery. When the watch ceases to function, it typically indicates that the battery requires replacement. To ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained and to prevent damage to the internal components, it is strongly recommended that battery replacement be performed by a professional watchmaker or an authorized service center.

4.3 Water Resistance Care

After exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, it is advisable to rinse your watch with fresh water. This practice helps to prevent the buildup of corrosive residues and maintains the longevity of the watch's seals. Always confirm that the crown is fully closed before and after any water exposure.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Invicta 8932 watch, please consult the following common troubleshooting points:

• Watch not running: Verify that the crown is fully pushed into Position 1. If the watch still does not operate, the battery may need to be replaced.
• Incorrect time or date display: Refer to Section 2.1, "Setting Time and Date," for detailed instructions on how to correctly adjust these functions.
• Condensation visible under the crystal: The presence of condensation inside the watch indicates a potential breach in its water resistance. This requires immediate attention from a professional watchmaker to prevent internal damage from moisture.

For problems not addressed in this section, or for any complex repairs, please contact Invicta customer support or an authorized service center.
