Setup and Initial Operation

1. Winding the Watch

The Zeppelin LZ127 GRAF Automatic 7656 features a Citizen/Miyota 821A automatic movement. This movement is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. For initial startup or after the watch has stopped due to lack of wear, it is recommended to manually wind the watch:

1. Ensure the crown is in position 1 (fully pushed in).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will build up a power reserve to start the movement.
3. Wear the watch regularly. Continuous wrist movement will keep the watch wound. The power reserve is approximately 35 hours when fully wound.

2. Setting the Time and Date

To set the correct time and date:

1. Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back to position 1.
2. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out further to position 3. Rotate the crown in either direction to move the hour and minute hands. Advance the hands past 12 o'clock to ensure the date changes if you are setting the time for the next day. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back to position 1.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

2. Leather Strap Care

The watch features a high-quality leather strap. To prolong its life:

• Avoid Water Exposure: Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities where it might get wet. Water significantly reduces the lifespan of leather straps.
• Cleaning: If the strap becomes dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose the leather strap to perfumes, solvents, or other chemicals.

3. Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This rating means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

1. Watch Has Stopped

If your automatic watch has stopped, it likely needs to be wound. Follow these steps:

• Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times while it is in position 1 (fully pushed in).
• Wear the watch for several hours to allow the automatic movement to build up its power reserve.
• If the watch still does not operate, contact customer support.

2. Inaccurate Timekeeping

Automatic movements are mechanical and may exhibit slight variations in timekeeping. A deviation of 10-40 seconds per day is considered normal for this type of movement. Factors such as wearing habits, temperature, and magnetic fields can influence accuracy.

• Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound by wearing it regularly or manually winding it.
• Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, certain electronic devices).
• If the inaccuracy is significantly outside the normal range, professional servicing may be required.
