Setup

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if setting the date.
3. Push the crown back into the normal position. The second hand will resume movement.

Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown out to the first click position.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the model) to set the date.
3. Push the crown back into the normal position.

Note: Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may damage the date mechanism.

Operating the Chronograph

The BW0408 Manta features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.

1. Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher (button A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
2. Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher (button B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

For precise measurements, ensure the chronograph hands are properly aligned to zero before starting a new measurement. If not, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section for hand alignment instructions.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch.

• Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Water Resistance

Your Breil Milano BW0408 Manta watch is water resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet). This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, please observe the following:

• Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by aging gaskets or accidental shocks. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.

Battery Replacement

When the battery is low, the second hand may start moving in 2-second intervals. This indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:

  Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.

• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero:

  This can usually be corrected by performing a chronograph hand alignment. Consult a professional watch repair service if you are unsure how to perform this or if the issue persists.
• Date not changing:

  Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. If the date is set during the forbidden period (9 PM - 3 AM), it might not change correctly. Adjust the time past 3 AM and then reset the date.

• Condensation under crystal:

  This indicates moisture ingress. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent damage to the movement.
