Setup

Setting the Time and Date

1. Unscrew the Crown (if applicable): Some water-resistant watches feature a screw-down crown. Gently unscrew the crown counter-clockwise until it springs out to position 1.
2. Pull the Crown to Position 2 (Date Setting): Gently pull the crown out further to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
3. Pull the Crown to Position 3 (Time Setting): Pull the crown out to the second click position. The second hand will stop. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accurate time setting, synchronize with a reliable time source.
4. Push and Screw Down the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1. If it's a screw-down crown, gently push it in and screw it clockwise until it is securely tightened against the case. This ensures water resistance.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this procedure performed by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp mechanism.

Operating Instructions

Swiss-Quartz Movement

Your Swiss Military Hanowa watch is equipped with a precise Swiss-quartz movement, known for its accuracy and reliability. It is powered by a battery, which typically lasts several years. When the battery needs replacement, the second hand may start skipping seconds or stop entirely.

Chronograph Function

The chronograph feature allows for precise timing of events. Your watch has two pushers, typically located at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions, in addition to the crown.

• Start/Stop: Press the upper pusher (usually at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop the timing.
• Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press the lower pusher (usually at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.

Luminous Features

The watch features luminous dots and hands, designed to glow in low-light conditions. These elements absorb light during the day and emit it in the dark, providing enhanced readability. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the exposure to light.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant to 330 feet (100 meters). This rating makes it suitable for snorkeling and swimming. It is not suitable for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down tightly before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.

Battery Replacement

When the battery needs replacement, it is highly recommended to have this service performed by an authorized Swiss Military Hanowa service center or a professional watchmaker. This ensures the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is properly re-established.

Mineral Crystal Care

The watch features a strong mineral crystal designed to protect the dial from scratches and scrapes. While durable, avoid direct impacts and contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:

  Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch is still not running, the battery may need replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker.

• Incorrect Time/Date:

  Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section. Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for adjustment and then securely pushed back in.

• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:

  If the chronograph hands do not return to their zero positions after pressing the reset pusher, a calibration may be required. This usually involves pulling the crown out to the time-setting position and using the pushers to manually adjust the chronograph hands. Refer to specific movement instructions or consult a professional.
• Condensation Under Crystal:

  If condensation appears under the crystal, it indicates a loss of water resistance. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent further damage to the movement.
