Understanding the Dial

The watch dial includes both standard 12-hour and 24-hour (military time) markers for versatile time reading:

• The outer ring displays standard 12-hour time (1-12).
• The inner ring displays 24-hour time (13-24), corresponding to the outer 12-hour markers.
• The bezel on the outside also features minute/second markers for precise timing.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Water Resistance: The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet). It is suitable for splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. It is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
• Battery Replacement: Battery life varies depending on usage. When the watch stops or the Indiglo light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
